I don't believe they will. Why would Russia nuke lands it wants to claim for itself?

Russia has enough land they want Ukraine to be a non-NATO, neutral buffer state. It's scary because if they can't do that it seems they're fine with making it a wasteland to achieve their desired buffer.

Yeah. It's definitely not natural resources and access to trade routes.

I do think it is about making sure Ukraine is solidly within the Russian sphere of influence, not looking to the west. At least based on analyses like this video by Anders Puck Nielsen.

Not saying NATO has done anything wrong, just that it's probably not about those two things you mention.
