After Biden’s long range missile approval, now NATO allies are making significant moves in Ukraine, with Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna calling for potential EU military deployment. The US has authorized Ukraine's use of ATACMS missiles to strike Russian territory, prompting immediate Ukrainian attacks on Bryansk. These escalatory actions near Russia's borders raise tensions and concerns about potential broader war before Trump's 2025 presidency.

Russia has issued a chilling nuclear warning with President Vladimir Putin revising the country's nuclear doctrine to include responses to attacks from non-nuclear states supported by nuclear powers. The move follows U.S. President Joe Biden's decision to authorise Ukraine to use long-range missiles against targets in Russia. The updated doctrine now justifies nuclear retaliation for conventional threats, highlighting concerns over weapons like hypersonic missiles and strike drones. As tensions escalate, Kremlin officials have framed this shift as a clear warning to NATO and the West against supporting aggression toward Russia.
