As reported earlier by Paul Serran – The escalation of the war in Ukraine has reached peak level on Tuesday, as Ukraine is reported to have launched western missiles at a target inside Russia, a move that can lead to a potential nuclear retaliation by Moscow.
The first Ukrainian strike targeted the border region of Bryansk in Russia.
Ukrainian forces fired six ATACMS missiles at a facility in the Russian Bryansk region, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
According to BRICS News – Five missiles were shot down by S-400 & Pantsir AA systems, one was damaged, its fragments fell in the technical zone of a military facility, causing a fire, Russian Defense Ministry says.
According to Russian Intel Slava Z media outlet the Putin made these changes to its nuclear doctrine on Tuesday.
Putin, following reports of Biden’s decision to give Ukraine permission to “long-range” missiles, approved the updated nuclear doctrine of the Russian Federation.
The main theses of the doctrine, which was legalized by the decree of the President of the Russian Federation:
– aggression against Russia and its allies by a non-nuclear country with the support of a nuclear state will be considered a joint attack;
– Russia may use nuclear weapons in the event of a critical threat to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of itself and Belarus;
– the conditions for the use of nuclear weapons include the launch of ballistic missiles against the Russian Federation (ATACMS are exactly such missiles – Ed.)
– a nuclear response from the Russian Federation is possible in the event of a “critical threat to its sovereignty” even with conventional weapons, with a massive launch of military aircraft, cruise missiles, drones, and other aircraft and their crossing of the Russian border.
– provision of territory and resources for aggression against the Russian Federation is also the basis for nuclear deterrence.
Russia is warning the West to discontinue its long-range missile strikes inside Russian territory.
