I guess the concern would be giving the Russian populace a reason to support the war and make a mobilization effort more likely to succeed. Idk how the probability of that changes with a border crossing beyond just anecdotally thinking it would increase at some rate. Usually doesn’t work out well to invade Russia, but in my mind and I assume yours as well, I only really mean targeted attacks without intent to occupy large territory inside the Russian border. Though I admit it would be hilarious for an offensive to occur and Ukraine successfully occupy Belgorod.

I believe this would absolutely result in a tactical nuclear response by Russia. Turning their “defensive” war into a conflict where they’re defending actual Russian soil would likely mean all bets are off.
