Despite frequent talk of nuclear escalation since 2022, most Russian nuclear messaging was not about explicit nuclear threats, but about amplifying uncertainty and fear, while Western leaders consistently tried to dampen escalation. The PRCP and SWP have recently published a working paper that systematically tracks nuclear signaling from Russia and NATO, tracing how these dynamics have evolved since autumn 2021 to January 2025.
