First such use of missiles came hours after Vladimir Putin lowered Moscow’s threshold for using nuclear weapons
Ukraine has fired US-made long-range missiles into Russia for the first time since the Biden administration lifted restrictions on their use, drawing a warning from Moscow that it would respond “accordingly”.
Ukraine’s general staff said in a statement on Facebook that it hit a military arsenal of the 1046th logistics centre outside the city of Karachev without confirming the use of the missiles. Russian independent media reported that residents of Karachev heard explosions overnight. The reports of an Atacms strike emerged hours after Vladimir Putin signed a revised nuclear doctrine lowering the threshold for using nuclear weapons, as the Kremlin intensified its rhetoric overRussia’s revised nuclear doctrine declares that a conventional attack on Russia by any nation that is supported by a nuclear power will be considered a joint attack on his country.
Peskov also stressed that any attack on Russia by a non-nuclear state with the participation of a nuclear state would be considered a joint attack. “Russia has always viewed nuclear weapons as a deterrent, the use of which is an extreme, forced measure,” Peskov said.
