I’m only directly aware of speculation with regard to there being a possible distinction such as https://www.bbc.com/news/world-60664169

I don't see that as being a distinction but more Russia just rattling the nuclear sabre.

They have been doing it since the start of the war and do it about every single large shipment of weapons to Ukraine.

I suspect its mostly for a internal audience but also to make the west scared to send weapons which clearly hasn't worked.

Russia (and before that, the USSR) viewed nuclear weapons as just another form of artillery. The US did as well, between Davey Crockets, SADM, Pershing 2 and GLCM.
