More posturing, or are Kyiv and NATO really planning to attack Russia?

    More posturing, with the key part being "the new strategy does not explicitly state that the enemy should violate the state border. The army and special forces will be involved if "an armed conflict within the territory of Ukraine either starts as a result of a provocation or receives support from the outside."

    If this is true, it would shift the casus belli from "Russia invades more territory in the Ukraine" to "Russia funds / arms / otherwise supports a separatist movement within the Ukraine itself."
