Oh. In response to Ukraine's audacious attacks, Putin may... invade Ukraine! No, he may strike Kyiv with ballistic missiles! Or maybe bomb civilian quarters in Odesa and Dnipro! (In reality, Russia has been doing this since first days of the war 4.5 years ago.)

Ukraine’s audacious attacks may just play into Putin’s hands Unfortunate headline/subhead (not mine) that make it sound as if I blame Kyiv for whatever may happen (I don't), but me in @thetimes on how deep strikes may make Putin desperate enough to take more risks https://www.thetimes.com/world/russia-ukraine-war/article/ukraine-russia-war-putin-escalation-npp285zgv
