Putin speaks about a nuclear attack – level 1

Putin speaks about a nuclear attack

25-11-2024 15:00

Russian President Vladimir Putin changes the rules for using nuclear weapons.

Now, Russia can use nuclear attacks to respond to non-nuclear attacks. Before, nuclear weapons are only for extreme situations. This change happens after Ukraine uses US rockets deep in Russia’s land.

Ukraine’s President Zelensky says that Putin should talk about ending the war, not nuclear attacks. Experts say that nuclear war may start. But the US does not change its nuclear plans now.

Russia’s soldiers are moving faster than before. The war is in a dangerous stage. Western leaders promise to keep helping Ukraine.

Difficult words: respond (to answer), extreme (very unusual, not normal at all), stage (a point, or step in a process).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What was the previous rule in Russia regarding the use of nuclear weapons before the recent change by President Putin?
