America allowing Ukraine to attack deep into Russia is not a 'master key', Moscow still has hot weapons, still willing to dance the tango

On November 19, the Kremlin stated that changes to Russia's nuclear doctrine had been drafted and would be formalized as needed, following reports that the US had lifted all restrictions on Ukraine's use of long-range weapons.

According to the TASS news agency, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated: "The amendments have been drafted but have not yet been formalized. They will be formalized when necessary."

Nevertheless, according to Peskov, Russia is ready to normalize relations with the US, but "we cannot dance the tango alone...", noting that it was not Moscow but Washington that initiated the "sanctions race".

Peskov's statement once again reflects Moscow's concern about the latest US decision to allow Ukraine to use weapons supplied by Washington to launch attacks deep inside Russian territory.

Russia's revised nuclear doctrine stipulates that Moscow reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in the event of aggression, even if the enemy uses conventional weapons but poses a serious threat to its national sovereignty .

On November 18, after Western media reported that US President Joe Biden had decided to lift restrictions preventing Kyiv from using long-range weapons supplied by Washington to strike deep into Russia, the Kremlin called the move reckless and a direct involvement in the conflict, and warned that Moscow would retaliate.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has previously stated that direct involvement of Western countries in the Ukraine conflict would change the nature of the conflict and that Moscow would be forced to make decisions based on the threats to Russia.

Sources even suggest that the first attacks deep into Russian territory will most likely be carried out with short-range tactical ballistic missiles (ATACMS).

While highlighting a major shift in U.S. policy toward the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the New York Times , citing sources, assessed that this move would not have a lasting impact on the course of the conflict in Ukraine and could only help the Eastern European nation's military in the short term.

Experts believe: "The Ukrainian army currently has only a limited number of these missiles. Firing a small number at targets in Russia would not make much difference."
