Some great reading in that:

In June 2020, President Putin approved an update to the “Basic Principles of State Policy of the Russian Federation on Nuclear Deterrence,” which notes that “The Russian Federation considers nuclear weapons exclusively as a means of deterrence.” The policy lays out four conditions under which Russia could launch nuclear weapons:

  1. “arrival of reliable data on a launch of ballistic missiles attacking the territory of the Russian Federation and/or its allies;
  2. use of nuclear weapons or other types of weapons of mass destruction by an adversary against the Russian Federation and/or its allies;
  3. attack by adversary against critical governmental or military sites of the Russian Federation, disruption of which would undermine nuclear forces response actions; and
  4. aggression against the Russian Federation with the use of conventional weapons when the very existence of the state is in jeopardy” (Russian Federation Foreign Affairs Ministry 2020).

Putin has now sought to criminalise the act of spreading 'disinformation' of related the their 'special operation'. That is significant, and perhaps shows the mavity of the situation in Russia, not just the worry among the people but the worry of Putin himself over what the effects would be on him and his outfit.

Well what can i say, if true then we cant do nothing at all. He has a significant advantage. I wonder what our great leaders did for this all those years

The key statement is "if true". Even the article from the russian outlet caveats with the word "expected". Also included in the article is this "The 40N6 missile carries a blast-fragmentation warhead with a rage of 310 miles and 95-percent accuracy." assuming its a typo Im not aware of any warhead with a range of 310 miles and 95% accuracy, even if it was 350 metres (which is more likely) thats a hell of a challenge to ensure two objects travelling at a closure rate of 25,000 metres per second. That would mean if its out by two hundreths of a second its missed.

Fortunately to achieve the maximum detonation everything has to happen in a specific sequence at specific times. An interception is highly unlikely to trigger a detonation.

Ahh thats good to know! So hopefully if things do go south if we have a good missile detection and intercept system we should be able to deal with quite a number of warheads?
 
What is the expected GDP growth for Russia next year the Russians were expecting 3 percent growth and 75 Roubles to the dollar I think we need a new prediction.

Sadly not really - in the highly unlikely event it goes to nuclear war the defences arent worth jack (and that applies to all countries). The destruction would be on a scale that you wouldnt want to survive.

How on earth can they justify us threatening their existence with conventional weapons?

This seems to be what they are thinking by NATO standing up to them. There was a statement recently about the existence of Russia being threatened. I also wonder if they take Kyiv that Putin’s tactic will be to proclaim Ukraine is part of Russia and can no longer be attacked.
