Ukraine has criticised it as  &#8220;nuclear sabre-rattling&#8221; to deter its allies from providing further support. <!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">US Secretary of State Antony Blinken described the comments as &#8220;totally irresponsible&#8221; in an MSNBC television interview.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Russian ally China has also called for calm, with reports President Xi Jinping has warned Putin against using nuclear arms.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">But on Wednesday, after a meeting with his Security Council, Putin announced the proposed radical expansion.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">A new nuclear doctrine would &#8220;clearly set the conditions for Russia to transition to using nuclear weapons,&#8221; he warned &#8211; and said such scenarios included conventional missile strikes against Moscow.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">He said that Russia would consider such a &#8220;possibility&#8221; of using nuclear weapons if it detected the start of a massive launch of missiles, aircraft and drones into its territory, which presented a &#8220;critical threat&#8221; to the country&#8217;s sovereignty.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">He added: &#8220;It is proposed that aggression against Russia by any non-nuclear state, but with the participation or support of a nuclear state, be considered as their joint attack on the Russian Federation.&#8221;<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">The country&#8217;s nuclear arms were &#8220;the most important guarantee of security of our state and its citizens&#8221;, the Kremlin leader said.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Since the end of World War Two, nuclear-armed states have engaged in a policy of deterrence, which is based on the idea that if warring states were to launch major nuclear strikes it would lead to mutually assured destruction.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">But there are also tactical nuclear weapons which are smaller warheads designed to destroy targets without widespread radioactive fallout.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">In June, Putin delivered a warning to European countries supporting Ukraine, saying Russia had \u201cmany more [tactical nuclear weapons] than there are on the European continent, even if the United States brings theirs over.\u201d<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">\u201cEurope does not have a developed [early warning system],\u201d he added. \u201cIn this sense they are more or less defenceless.\u201d<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">At the time he had hinted of changes to Russia&#8217;s nuclear doctrine &#8211; the document which sets out the conditions under which Moscow would use nuclear weapons.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">The Kremlin said on Thursday that changes outlined by Putin should be considered a warning to the West.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Elaborating on the move, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters: &#8220;It must be considered a specific signal &#8211; a signal that warns these countries of the consequences if they participate in an attack on our country by various means, not necessarily nuclear.&#8221;<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Peskov said that Russia would make a decision on whether not to publish the updated nuclear documents, adding that adjustments to the document on state nuclear deterrence were being formulated.<!-- --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c5yjej0rvw0o\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vladimir Putin says Russia would consider an attack from a non-nuclear state that was backed by a nuclear-armed one to be a &#8220;joint attack&#8221;, in what could be construed as &hellip;
