Vladimir Putin's chief spokesman has chillingly warned the surprise change to Russia's nuclear weapons doctrine was intended to send a "signal" to the West.
On Wednesday, Putin warned Russia could respond to conventional missile strikes with nuclear weapons, effectively lowering the threshold for a strike and putting the world on a path toward nuclear war.
The Russian leader also indicated that Moscow would treat any attack backed by a nuclear-armed country as a coordinated assault.
That means if the Kremlin deems a Ukrainian assault on Russian soil using US, French, or British missiles to represent a "critical threat" to Russia’s sovereignty, Moscow will consider Kyiv’s Western allies as the attackers too.
On Thursday, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed updates had been made to Russia's nuclear doctrine, in a document titled 'The Foundations of State Policy in the Sphere of Nuclear Deterrence'.
When asked if these changes were intended as a message to the West, Peskov said: "This should be considered a definite signal," according to the Kyiv Independent.

“In Russia, Reagan remembered for helping bring down Soviet Union’
How dare you cite Ronald Reagan. Reagan was a liberator. He didn’t want to hurt the people of the Soviet Union. You want to destroy Russia and kill as many as you can. That’s the huge difference.
