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.
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.
