VLADIMIR Putin has given the green light to a fresh nuke doctrine - threatening to use nuclear weapons against the West if Ukraine fires long-range missiles on Russian soil.

The deluded tyrant was left raging when US President Joe Biden finally approved use of the far-reaching rockets by Ukraine after 1,000 days of war.

Putin's snarling propaganda mouthpiece Dmitry Peskov swore on Tuesday that the use of Western non-nuclear missiles by Ukraine's armies could spark a nuclear response.
