Ukraine Uses U.S. Missiles to Strike Inside Russia, Raising Nuclear Tensions

The attack on Russia's Bryansk region marks a significant escalation in the conflict as Moscow updates its nuclear doctrine.

Ukraine reportedly used U.S.-made ATACMS missiles to target a military facility in Russia's Bryansk region, as confirmed by Russian authorities.
The attack follows the U.S. decision to lift restrictions on Ukraine's use of long-range missiles, which Moscow views as a provocation.
Russia's updated nuclear doctrine now considers any aggression by a non-nuclear state, supported by a nuclear power, as a potential trigger for nuclear response.
The Kremlin has accused the West of escalating the conflict, while Kyiv has not officially confirmed the use of ATACMS missiles in the attack.
The geopolitical landscape is poised for further changes with the impending inauguration of Donald Trump, who has signaled a potential shift in U.S. support for Ukraine.
