Overview
In a pivotal escalation, the US has authorized Ukraine to use ATACMS missiles against Russia, prompting a sharp warning from Moscow that such actions may trigger nuclear responses. Concurrently, Russia updated its nuclear doctrine, stating attacks by countries backed by nuclear powers could be seen as joint aggression against Russia. Reports indicate that Ukraine launched these missiles targeting military facilities in Russia's Bryansk region, with mixed results of confirmed intercepts by Russian defense systems. This intensification raises fears of further conflict as the war marks its 1,000th day.
