MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday announced plans to broaden Moscow's rules on using its nuclear weaponry, allowing it to unleash a nuclear response in the event of a 'massive' air attack.

Under the proposed rules, Russia would also consider any attack by a non-nuclear country supported by a nuclear power as a joint attack by both.
