newsweek.com

Russian President Putin suggested Ukraine using Western weapons on Russian soil does not cross his "red line," per the Institute for the Study of War. Putin stated Russia would only use nuclear weapons in "exceptional cases" threatening sovereignty. Despite previous threats, recent strikes by Ukraine with U.S. weapons did not prompt nuclear action. The ISW believes Russia's red lines may be aimed at influencing Western behavior rather than immediate military response.
