Russian President Vladimir Putin's decision to lower the threshold for nuclear weapon usage in response to Ukraine's use of ATACMS marks a significant escalation in hostilities between the two nations.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that Ukraine's attacks represent a new stage in the Western war against Russia, signaling an intention to escalate the conflict further.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized collaboration with allies, asserting that Ukraine would leverage both US-supplied ATACMS missiles and its own long-range capabilities for military operations.
The use of ATACMS against Russian territory is interpreted by Moscow as a provocative escalation, prompting warnings of potential nuclear responses to what they perceive as a direct threat.
