Vladimir Putin indicated that nuclear weapons have not been required in the Ukraine conflict, emphasizing Russia's capability to conclude the war on favorable terms. In November 2024, he updated Russia's nuclear doctrine, enabling a nuclear response to conventional attacks supported by nuclear powers.
Meanwhile, Ukraine's President Zelenskyy proposed a ceasefire, citing a lack of progress in negotiations as Russia continues assaults, including a drone attack on Kyiv that injured 11. Zelenskyy criticized Russia's half-hearted ceasefire proposals and called for a substantial 30-day pause in hostilities, echoing U.S. suggestions. The ongoing conflict poses risks of further escalation as military support from allies, including a proposed 1.8 million artillery shells from the Czech Republic, continues to flow into Ukraine.
