My concern is that the Ukrainians may feel emboldened to launch an attack against a city in Russia, similar to the Doolittle raid. It would likely be responded to strongly by attacking an Ukrainian city.
What is scary to me is my opinion, Russia will not lose. Russia may not win outright, but the Russian state cannot afford to lose, even if it means complete destruction of all.
The news of Ukrainian successes brings us closer to the edge of this. We should be pushing for a negotiated peace to keep this from getting out of hand. But we’re not.
One does not negotiate with a bully.
