    I mean, they have nukes, actually invading them with intent to actually conquer them or permanently take significant parts of the country would be a risky move regardless of how depleted their stocks get.

      That goes both ways, at least a little. It would be risky for Russia to ever use nukes, even on their own territory. It certainly wouldn’t make the west happy, and their citizens probably don’t want to see their own villages with mushroom clouds over them.
