Putin is not interested in that because he sees the Ukes as fellow slavic peoples with a shared history and culture. He understands that their current leadership is the result of a coup and a massive propaganda effort - that their democracy was stolen by evil agents of the west.
Remember, it was Putin himself who made the call on releasing the Victoria Nuland tapes. He had hoped it would force the turtles to duck their heads - I believe he had miscalculated the cuckery of the west and the information/narrative control of the white noise machine.
I think it is more likely he will blow up some embassies, letting the west know that if they want to come out and play, it's going to be rugby, not table tennis.
I think it will mostly depend on what Zelensky targets with those long range missiles...
So far nothing of any real significance has been lost yet...
If that changes...
so will Putin's restraint but more accurately ...that of the hardliners that Putin has suppressed up to this point ...
