Russia-Ukraine war live: US embassy in Kyiv closes over threat of ‘significant attack’ as Kremlin rules out ‘freeze’ in conflict

US embassy has received ‘specific information’ of potentially significant air attack; Russia spokesperson attacks Biden administration

In a television interview in France, foreign minister Jean-Noël Barrot has dismissed Vladimir Putin’s approval of a new nuclear doctrine yesterday as rhetoric, and, Reuters reports, said “We are not intimidated.”

The change in nuclear doctrine yesterday lowered the threshold for Russia’s use of nuclear weapons, with a significant development being that Russia says it now considers a nuclear response justified if it is on the receiving end of aggression by a non-nuclear power that is being aided by a nuclear power.
