The research data described below was produced by the Working Paper titled "One Year of Nuclear Rhetoric and Escalation Management in Russia's War Against Ukraine: A Chronology," covering the period between February 24, 2022, and February 3, 2023. Understanding Russian-Western nuclear interactions throughout the year of 2022 is the focal point of the research project. In particular, the following aspects have been brought to the fore: what statements and actions with a nuclear dimension did Russia and the West make in the context of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine? What reactions did Russia's nuclear rhetoric trigger? In turn, how did Russia react to Western rejoinders, warnings and counter-threats? To answer these research questions, the researchers collected all politically significant statements and actions by the Russian Federation and Western states, particularly the United States and NATO allies, with a nuclear dimension. The study was led by Dr. Liviu Horovitz and Anna Clara Arndt and was financed by the Strategic Threat Analysis and Nuclear (Dis-)Order (STAND) project at SWP, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Defence. In summary, this study provides a comprehensive chronology of the nuclear rhetoric and escalation management strategies employed by Russia and the West in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
