Ukraine really doesn't seem to fear Russia's nuclear strikes! In just four months this year, Ukraine has attacked the Bryansk Oblast of Russia nearly 5,000 times. If we tally it all up, Ukraine may have already attacked various regions of the Russian mainland more than 10,000 times in the first four months of this year.
The biggest headache for Russia right now is conventional weapons; they can't subdue Ukraine. Missiles like the 'Kinzhal' and 'Tsirkon' hypersonic missiles, near-intercontinental missiles, various cruise missiles, thermobaric bombs, ballistic missiles, cluster bombs, FAB aviation bombs - they've fired at least 100,000 of these, but still haven't subdued Ukraine, which continues to counterattack.
It's very difficult for the Russian Strategic Missile Forces to launch a nuclear strike on Ukraine. After all, the power of nuclear weapons is too great, and Ukraine shares thousands of kilometers of border with Russia. A nuclear explosion in Ukraine by the Russian military would actually amount to nuclear contamination of Russia itself.
In any war between two countries, the attacking side finds it hard to keep up an offensive indefinitely, whereas the defending side can defend endlessly. The most difficult thing for Russia right now is how to force Ukraine to surrender.
