So I have a little theory that I hope is wrong, but here goes. Russia has been going in near full retreat mode on some fronts, especially from Kharkiv Oblast. I had said before it seemed intentional, like Russia wanted to draw as many Ukrainian troops as they could on to the Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts, areas that are about to be Russia proper, and I had thought this was so that they could legally use territorial defense forces/conscripts against them day 1 of annexation. A new thought crossing my mind is something much bigger. I have always been saying Russia wont use nukes, no chance, they dont need them to beat Ukraine, and though I think thats true, IF (big if) this is the use of anti satellite weaponry, I now am thinking they just might do it, but they are gonna do it on RUSSIAN territory (my guess is the very northernmost corner of the Donetsk Oblast) with a very low yield tactical nuke and only to be a last wag of the rattlesnake tail at NATO to really really really consider what they are doing. By Russia "testing" a tactical nuke on their own territory Im not sure they can face the same backlash. Anyways I hope thats wrong and instead they are just gonna do some heavy bombing or the like but I just moved from the "they never will" camp to the "they just might do it, but it will technically be on their own land" camp
