US-RUSSIA: US Will Not Adjust Its Nuclear Posture In Response To Russian Change

US State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller has told reporters that the US has "seen no reason" to adjust its nuclear posture following Russian President Vladimir Putin's move to revise Russia's nuclear doctrine; a response to US President Joe Biden's decision to allow Ukraine to use US-supplied long-range missiles to strike targets within the Russian Federation.

  • Miller says that the US is not surprised by the new nuclear doctrine and calls on Russia to, "stop bellicose and irresponsible rhetoric."
  • Miller says the US is "incredibly" concerned about hybrid warfare conducted by Russia and remains in close touch with Europeans about the issue.
  • Sam Greene at CEPA notes on Putin's nuclear doctrine adjustment: "None of this happened at a moment's notice. Ukraine had been asking for permission for long-range strikes for ages. Biden made it clear it was a matter of time. Putin will have decided that this--a relatively minor revision of a document--would be his response."
  • The Netherlands-based Moscow Times reports: "Though the changes were announced in September, Putin’s sign-off came a day after Washington permitted Kyiv to use ATACMS to strike some targets in Russia...
  • "Experts told The Moscow Times that the revised doctrine fits in with Russia’s attempts to deter Kyiv’s allies from ramping up support to Ukraine by creating greater ambiguity about when it would consider nuclear retaliation."
