🇷🇺 — Russia updates its nuclear doctrine following a Putin's decree:

➡️Russia’s updated nuclear doctrine states that aggression against it or its allies by a non-nuclear state supported by a nuclear one will be treated as a joint attack.

➡️The doctrine emphasizes Russia’s readiness to use nuclear weapons to ensure deterrence and permits their use if the sovereignty or territorial integrity of Russia or Belarus is critically threatened.

➡️Ballistic missile launches against Russia are listed as grounds for nuclear retaliation, and the doctrine identifies adversaries against whom nuclear deterrence is exercised.

➡️Providing territory or resources for aggression against Russia is also considered a basis for nuclear deterrence.
