Speaking at a press conference in the Vietnamese capital, Hanoi, Russian President Vladimir Putin speaks on the war in Ukraine, security, and his recent visit to North Korea. Says that Russia is 'considering a possible change to its nuclear doctrine' that would see the threshold for using nuclear weapons in the West lowered. Says that there is no need for a pre-emptive strike at present.

  • The comments mirror those made earlier in the month at a speech in St. Petersburg, where he stated that ""This doctrine is a living instrument, and we are carefully watching what is happening in the world, around us, and do not rule out making some changes to this doctrine," Putin said, according to RIA Novosti. "I don't think that such a case has arisen."
  • Russian politicians, including Putin, talking about nuclear weapons and their potential deployment or use have become more commonplace during the course of the war in Ukraine. Nevertheless, they will garner interest in the West amid efforts to bolster Ukrainian military resources.
