"A Swiss-made armored car was spotted in Ukraine — Neue Zurcher Zeitung.

Switzerland has banned European countries from re-exporting their equipment to Ukraine, so it is not clear how Swiss equipment ended up in Ukraine."

"In the new audio message, answering the question about the perspectives of this year, Prigozhin says they are "foggy" and that Russians have a couple of weeks to prepare for the Ukrainian strikes, otherwise it will be too late to "drink Borjomi" (which is a popular Russian saying related to Georgian healthy mineral water from Borjomi, i.e. "too late to drink Borjomi when your kidneys failed")."

"Prigozhin says Russia is at war "exclusively with the Ukrainian army"

He just contradicted most Russian propagandists who have convinced their audience for months that Russia is at war with NATO."

A lot of what Prigozhin says is just bravado but every once in a while he drops a truth bomb.

Yo drag what do you think of your boy's statement?

Just found this video in relation to your question Honestly, he's been talking about nuclear weapons and making veiled threats almost since Ukraine started receiving aid from NATO countries.

I have no idea if this is just another case of him puffing his chest or not. He seems to be carefully stating that he's continuing preparations (training in a couple of months) for such an escalation should he need to. He's careful to say he'll remain faithful to his commitments made to his partners; perhaps to placate China specifically since they just made a visit to him.

Should we be worried? I don't think anymore than we were a year ago. I think he is only mentioning other countries using them first to excuse the fact they're preparing for it. But I think he's smart enough to know that using nukes will likely be a point of no return for him and his country.

I truly hope it does not get to that point but who knows how far he'd go.
