(Reuters) - Changes to Russia's nuclear doctrine have been drawn up and will be formalised as necessary, the Kremlin said on Tuesday, signalling again Moscow's concern over the latest U.S. decision on missile strikes from Ukraine.

"They (the changes) have already been practically formulated. They will be formalised as necessary," Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin's press secretary, told the TASS state news agency in remarks published on Tuesday.
