Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed an updated nuclear doctrine that expands the conditions of nuclear weapons. According to the document, Russia reserves the right to strike a nuclear blow even in response to the aggression of a non -nuclear state if it is supported by a country with a nuclear arsenal.
On this step, Moscow went on the 1000th day of the war against Ukraine, against the background of reports of successful use by Ukrainian military American missiles atACMS, which were used to strike on ammunition in the Bryansk region.
German Foreign Minister Annalen Berbok called Russia a new nuclear doctrine an attempt to intimidate the international community.
"Putin plays on the fears of the world not since the war against Ukraine, but since 2014. Germany then made a mistake, allowing herself to intimidate, and did not listen to the warnings of Eastern European partners," Berbb said.
She stressed that past lessons should push Europe to strengthen their safety, investment in defense and closely cooperate with allies.
The United States stated that they would not change their nuclear policy in response to Russia's actions. Washington stressed that it remains devoted to the principles of restraint and safety without planning provocative steps.
