Probably just to force Russia to defend this part of the border, which will reduce the manpower available for its offensives elsewhere.

I would think that defending Mother Russia will be the priority. That will divert resources from the Ukraine invasion. This will also demoralize the Russian public.

Thanks. I haven’t seen anything about any military goal, be interesting to see how long they stay across the border and what if anything they accomplish there.
