Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a revised nuclear doctrine that lowers the threshold for using nuclear weapons.

The updated doctrine retains the provision that decisions on the use of nuclear weapons will be made by the head of state. He also emphasizes that state policy in the field of nuclear deterrence is defensive in nature.
