Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a new military doctrine echoing Kremlin accusations that Western nations sponsored a coup in Ukraine.
The Kremlin said in a December 26 statement that Putin had signed the updated doctrine, which says Russia faces threats from foreign nations that "install" governments hostile to its interests in countries along its borders.
The updated document also appears to address other aspects of the Ukraine crisis, including U.S. and EU sanctions against Russia.
It cites risks presented by "organizations of foreign governments and their coalitions against the Russian Federation."
Russian officials accuse the United States and the EU of helping to overthrow Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych earlier this year and usher in a pro-Western government in Kyiv.
Western nations dismiss the allegations and accuse Russia of illegally annexing Crimea and backing armed separatists in eastern Ukraine.
The revised military doctrine signed by Putin updates a 2010 version. Both documents cite NATO expansion as a primary risk to Russian security.
