Following the agreement of Western countries to allow Ukraine to use their weapons to target positions within Russian territory, Kyiv launched attacks on Russian targets with British 'Storm Shadow' cruise missiles on Wednesday, November 30. These attacks came a day after Ukraine targeted a weapons depot inside Russia using American-made long-range 'ATACMS' missiles. Following reports of about ten thousand North Korean soldiers being sent to Russia to participate in the war against Ukraine, U.S. President Joe Biden granted Ukraine permission on Sunday, November 27, to use long-range missiles to strike military targets within Russia. Ukraine considers these attacks as defensive actions and describes military bases located behind the Russian front as the main support for Moscow's aggression against its territory. In contrast, Russia views the use of Western weapons by Ukraine as a factor that escalates the conflict. Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on Tuesday, November 29, reducing Moscow's requirements for the use of nuclear weapons in response to conventional missile attacks supported by nuclear powers. According to Russia's new nuclear doctrine, the country can use nuclear weapons if attacked by a conventional missile supported by a nuclear power. Sergey Naryshkin, head of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service, warned that Moscow would retaliate against NATO members facilitating Ukraine's long-range missile attacks on Russian territory. Meanwhile, Ukraine's intelligence agency accused Russia on Wednesday, November 30, of conducting a large-scale psychological-information operation. According to this agency, Moscow intended to create a psychological impact on Ukrainians by spreading false warnings about an imminent airstrike. Calls for an end to the war in Ukraine and the Middle East were made at the G20 summit. The White House stated that the change in Russia's nuclear doctrine does not affect the U.S. position. Zelensky mentioned that the number of North Korean soldiers in Russia could reach 100,000. Putin signed a decree allowing for a broader use of 'nuclear weapons.' The Islamic Republic reacted to the new round of EU sanctions, calling them 'unjustified.'
