Yeah at the end he was saying "your economic and physical security" which seems to be more taken as Ukraine's economic and physical security, rather than a veiled threat to the guy personally.
Basically play ball or your country is fucked, rather than you're personally fucked, though I guess could be implied.
And that's the good thing, we can have a differing view.
I guess from the headline I thought he would have said something like, "get this shit sorted out or you're done, pal."
Still could be taken as done professionally, or the country itself is done, but I think wording like that could be taken as being a more explicit threat.

Yes, but having the headline like this makes it seem explicit, but it's definitely not.
OK. But how explicit do you expect threats to be?
Story met my expectations from headline. I suppose that is where we differ.
Frankly, the audio exceeded my expectations.
