So to be clear, they changed it from a threat to the existence of Russia to any attack that threatens their sovereignty?

Not "any attack that threatens their sovereignty" a “critical threat to our sovereignty”, changed from "the very existence of the state".

But a "critical threat" means much the same. Whatever either words mean - for sure Ukraine using ATACMS to destroy a munitions dump that Russia has prepared to drop on Ukraine is NOT any kind of a threat to Russian soveriegnty.

And the bottom line here is that Russia is NOT doing this to try to find a reason to use nukes which would be INSANE. It is doing this to try to find a way to hobble Ukraine so they can attack it more easily.

Sorry mistake - I found a translation of it and the "critical threats" language is still there

The rest of it is very vague and confusing but it does still say that Russia will only use nukes in ersponse to a ":Critical threat" To its sovereignty/

If Ukraine do use American weapons, surely it's American personal that have to get the coordinates for the weapon to be used? So wouldn't that mean in hindsight that America is bombing Russia?

No that is not true that is misleading Russian propaganda. Ukraine has its own "People's satellite" as well as observation droens. Remember Ukraine is ALREADY hitting targets throughout Russia with its own missiles. It does NOT need US to supply coordinates.

And it is obvious these missiles can't require US participation to fire them because the US sells them to countries arou8nd the world such as Singapore say.There is NO WAY that Singapore or the UAE bought missiles from the USA that required US participation to launch them.

It is a nonsense argument. Putin "Pants on fire" lies that sadly were published in the Western press without any corrections or comment. I cover that here:
