Don’t get cocky, everyone. Remember nuclear warfare has been flirted with.
I don’t think there’s much that can be done for Russia using nuclear missiles on their own territory and that would be why Ukraine’s in an area of value, protecting them from that happening. They won’t be controlling territory much larger while an Su-35 with a nuclear loadout is waiting for them to stray enough kilometres away from the critical infrastructure.
Consider it a siege attempt on resource, not a counter attack for territory.
Edit: Holy shit. I’m clearly referring to the tactical nukes. How did y’all forget that, gloss over the rest of the comment, and go straight to silo level atomic bombs decimating the region and spreading fallout across EU? Fucking hell, this place some times…
I believe, and my memory in this is a little hazy, that Poland already said they’d trigger article 5 if they got screwed with radiation so I suppose the answer to your question is either

Escalating Russian Tactical Nuclear Drills Now Include Forces Involved in Ukraine War
Brains. Use them. What kind of nuke did people think an SU-35 could even carry?
Nuclear bombs would have fallout that blows across Europe.
Ukraine doesn’t need to defend any territory it has taken, it just needs to be a constant thorn in Russia’s side.
Also, some countries have stated that they would consider fallout blowing into their country as a trigger to invoke NATO Article 5.
It’s a great way for Russia to instantly lose the war. How fast do you think the EU gets involved when they have radiation on their borders?
