The Russian President on Wednesday announced plans to broaden Russia's rules on the use of its fearsome arsenal, allowing it to unleash a nuclear response in the event of a 'massive' air attack. The proposals would also permit Moscow to respond with nuclear weapons against non-nuclear states, where they were being supported by nuclear powers - a thinly veiled reference to Ukraine and its Western backers. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the planned changes 'must be considered a specific signal that warns these countries of the consequences if they participate in an attack on our country by various means, not necessarily nuclear,' Peskov told reporters.-AP</blockquote>
