Ukraine’s latest drone strike has pushed Russia’s nuclear doctrine into dangerous territory. Ukrainian forces targeted Russian nuclear-capable bomber bases, an act that technically activates Moscow’s strategic deterrent policy. The Kremlin has not responded with nuclear force, nor has it shut down Ukraine’s power grid, but the attack on Russia’s long-range bombers is a clear red line.
The strike, carried out by Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU), hit multiple Russian airfields, including Belaya, Diaghilevo, Olenya, and Ivanovo. Ukrainian officials claim that 40 Russian aircraft were damaged or destroyed, including Tu-95 and Tu-22M3 bombers, which are capable of carrying nuclear payloads. The operation, reportedly planned for over a year, involved smuggling drones deep into Russian territory before launching coordinated attacks.
This is no longer theoretical, it’s doctrine in action. Russia’s nuclear policy states that any attack threatening its strategic deterrent could justify a nuclear response. While Putin has not escalated to that level, the situation is volatile. The Kremlin has already intensified missile strikes on Ukraine, targeting key infrastructure in retaliation.
Washington’s role in this escalation cannot be ignored. The Biden administration has approved Ukraine’s use of U.S.-made ATACMS missiles to strike targets deep inside Russia, a decision that has further inflamed tensions. Moscow has responded by fine-tuning its nuclear doctrine, lowering the threshold for first-use scenarios. The Kremlin now considers aggression from any non-nuclear state—if backed by a nuclear country—a joint attack on Russia.
The political fallout is growing. Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal have been vocal in their support for Ukraine, but their involvement has fueled escalation rather than peace efforts. Their televised statements praising Ukraine’s military actions raise serious questions about whether they are acting as peacekeepers or deepening the conflict.
