RUSSIAN dictator Vladimir Putin has issued a chilling threat to launch nukes days after a terrifying simulation showed London being nuked.
The mad leader escalated his nuclear threats against the West, telling his security council he needed to “correct” the Kremlin nuclear doctrine.

It would allow the despot to deploy nukes if Russia or key ally Belarus was hit with conventional missiles.
The Kremlin chief said Moscow would consider any assault supported by a nuclear power as a joint attack.
He said: “Aggression against Russia by any non-nuclear state, but with the participation or support of a nuclear state, is treated as a joint attack on the Russian Federation.”
The Kremlin said the changes outlined by Putin should be considered a signal to the West that there will be consequences if Western powers participate in attacks on Russia.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia would make a decision on whether not to publish the updated nuclear documents, adding that adjustments to the document on state nuclear deterrence were being formulated.
Previously, Russia’s nuclear doctrine had only allowed it to launch a nuclear strike after a direct attack by an enemy armed with nuclear weapons.
The warning comes after Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, was due to meet Joe Biden at the White House to push for permission to fire US-made long-range missiles at Russia.
Putin and other top Kremlin officials have regularly threatened to carry out a nuclear strike because of Western support for Ukraine since it invaded in 2022.
The threats come days after a terrifying simulation showed a fireball over Westminster was shared on Russian TV.
The clip was shared by a staunchly pro-Putin propaganda TV channel and appears to be the latest move to scare Britain from giving permission to Ukraine to fire Storm Shadow missiles far inside Russia.
The blast, which detonates over Westminster, shows the fireball evaporating central London in a sickening animated video.
Buildings are destroyed and a mushroom cloud goes high into the sky above the capital.
Buckingham Palace, The City, The Shard, and some of the greatest arts and cultural sites in the world are obliterated.
As the explosion spreads, the clip has a rolling ticker estimating how many would die from Putin’s sick decision.
Eventually, around 850,000 people would be evaporated and two million would be injured with a 750 kiloton bomb.
The video broadcast on the Tsargrad network’s Telegram channel begins by threatening: “Imagine for a moment that the unimaginable happens.”
The commentary warns viewers: “Upon detonation, a fireball as hot as the sun rapidly expands, reaching a radius of 950 metres (1,039 yards).
“People within that radius won’t even feel anything because the nerve impulse transmission speed is slower.
“Within 5 km (3 miles) of the epicentre the blast radius: City of London, Camden town, Kensington, Brixton, these areas will receive the most destruction.”
It comes as Sir Keir Starmer is weighing whether to let UK-made Storm Shadow missiles be fired over the border.
Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Ukraine’s ambassador to the UK, told Labour’s conference
He said: “If Russia fires missiles at any targets in Ukraine it’s Ukraine’s right to respond in kind by hitting military targets within Russia. It’s the principle of self-defence.”

Meanwhile, Zelensky has warned that mad Vlad was plotting to blitz nuclear power plants in Ukraine which would spark a Chernobyl style disaster.
The calculating Russian despot has been using satellites to compile images and detailed information on the infrastructure, according to Ukrainian intelligence.
President Zelensky told the UN General Assembly: “Recently I received yet another alarming report from our intelligence.
“Now Putin does seem to be planning attacks on our nuclear power plants and the infrastructure, aiming to disconnect the plants from the power grid.”
The war-time leader warned of the catastrophic consequences such attacks could trigger.
Zelensky previously cautioned a nuclear disaster at the Zaporizhzhia power plant – Europe’s largest – could be as big as “six Chernobyls”.
In an interview with ABC News, Zelensky said the war could end as soon as next year.
Zelensky said: “I think that we are closer to peace than we think. We are closer to the end of the war.
“The plan for victory is to strengthen Ukraine. So we ask our friends, our allies to strengthen us. This is very important.”
The Ukrainian leader said in the interview that only from a “strong position” can Ukraine push Russian President Vladimir Putin “to stop the war.”
He said that the Kursk incursion exposed the weakness of Putin’s position, even though the Russian military continues to advance on its objectives in Donbas.
He added: “(Putin) is very afraid … Because his people saw that he can’t defend – that he can’t defend all his territory.”
