Putin's latest revisions to Russia's nuclear doctrine suggest a readiness to use nuclear weapons more freely in response to conventional attacks, lowering the threshold for nuclear engagement.
The changes in military guidelines now allow for nuclear retaliation against any state perceived as creating a critical threat to Russia's sovereignty, even without direct attacks.
Russia's updated nuclear doctrine includes potential strikes against nations supporting aggressors and operates under the notion of collective retaliation against perceived threats.
Despite uncertainty over Putin's actual willingness to use nuclear arms, these threats serve to assert Russia's power and deter support for Ukraine from the West.
