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

Russian spokesperson attacks the Biden administration, saying it has shown it is committed to continuing the war

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.
