Downing Street has condemned Vladimir Putin’s decision to lower the threshold for nuclear weapons on the 1,000th day of the Ukraine war as the “latest example of irresponsibility” from the “depraved Russian government”.
Number 10 urged the Kremlin to “end the onslaught and needless bloodshed” after the development on Tuesday, warning that the UK would continue to back Kyiv for “as long as necessary”.
