Russia is revising its nuclear response doctrine to address long-range aerospace attacks from Ukraine, with Deputy Head Dmitry Medvedev stating such strikes could justify nuclear retaliation under specific conditions. While Ukraine gave up its nuclear arsenal in 1994, support from NATO allies, including the U.S., UK, and France, has increased tensions. Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that Western weapons use inside Russia could be seen as a declaration of war by NATO, further raising fears of an escalation in the conflict.
