But they won't be recognised, by the West, so it means Ukraine can attack them, and because Ukraine is attacking them, the West will continue to arm it.
It changes nothing as far as the present conflict is concerned.
No it changes quite a bit. It means they're a part of Russia, and therefore Russia sets the precedence to defend them by all means necessary.
What happens if a nuke goes off in their defense? A very fine point of debate. Not much debate with nukes. But? Would the West engage into a direct war with Russia? It proves they were always going too. Russia simply had to lose. Lose Crimea, and any other separatist territory seeking Russian protection.
It wouldn't be such an easy international response? But perhaps, otherwise.
Dangerous escalation ahead. Unless another truce foments. But as it stands on not recognising them, this war will only drag for much longer, escalating.
Russia now has the tools it needs to respond to any military threat to the land.
That's not the point. The point is it is under immediate attack, inside territories, it has just offered protections.
What does it mean. A nuclear power is under direct attack.
How does it respond. As of yet conventionally. Pressed further, let's suggest a territory now a part of Russia is completely invaded, the population and Russian soldiers are being killed in significant numbers, what happens. Specifically it remains an escalating question?
imaginary lines. I would suggest that Russia has published clear doctrine regarding the use of nuclear weapons. So we can simply refer to that.
Russia is in the superior position and will continue to remain in the top military spot in the entire conflict. I have no doubt of this. The west simply cannot project anything over there at all, just junk.
This is not a troop war, there is no concern for large vast troop movements. So far we have not really seen anything yet, the nature of this conflict belongs to the ranged weapons.
No it hasn't, to be fair. It hasn't in this conflict. There is only escalation. Also that doctorine has changed in this conflict to certain extents and reasons.
These new territories are now a part of Russian soil. Except there is a conflict. It hasn't suddenly decreased because Russia has gained a larger protectorate, shouting ohhh it has the nukes. Wait what. Ukraine wants its land back, and is still fighting for it. It has technically escalated. Ukraine might fight even harder for it. It will seek even more arms to get it.
So dumbass this conflict will escalate. As it does the probability of nukes increases.
Not whether or not, Russia remains in conflict, it is and it hasn't stopped. It has escalated. Russia has mobilised. Not what capability Russia has. It was obvious Russia has nukes, and has acquired parts of the former Ukraine. It wasn't that concern. I don't care much. Not Ukrainian. Not Russian. Except I question the larger odds of nukes. They remain probable.
