Putin formally lowers threshold for Russia's use of nuclear weapons

In an alarming move, Russian President Vladimir Putin has formally lowered the threshold for his country’s use of nuclear weapons, sending a message to Ukraine and the U.S. with the new terms of the doctrine. It comes just days after the U.S. allowed Ukraine to strike Russia using American long-range missiles. NBC’s Keir Simmons reports for TODAY.
