> Nuking russian soil
Russia annexed only parts of Ukraine so far. I can see them spinning a nuke over Kiev as defense of annexed territories.
It would also fit their narrative of "only using nukes in defense" as they would claim Russian territory is being attacked.
"It would also fit their narrative of "only using nukes in defense" as they would claim Russian territory is being attacked."
Their narrative is, that there is no ukrainian state. It is all russia. And Kiev is like a mothertown of russian culture.
So if extremly cornered and desperate, they might use a nuke to protect the crimea, but they could never nuke Kiev and live to tell the tale.
