just fyi for anyone even remotely gullible enough to think Russia has ever needed to resort to nukes in Ukraine:

100 cruise missiles per day can be fired for 6 months before the existing stockpile is depleted ... and production for those missiles certainly is ongoing and even being accelerated
As I have ask before, no electronics to build them.

This is considered state of the art electronics on their current cruise missiles.

Let’s look at the situation with the Kh-101 stealth attack cruise missile. The two photos below show only part of the 35 microchips found in the rocket. Experts from BulgarianMilitary.com found that they look like microchips produced in the ’60s and ’70s in the United States. This confirms one of the supposed possibilities, i.e. opportunity for recycled chips from China.

A Ukrainian expert says the chips used in the Kh-101 stealth attack cruise missile may not have been recycled in China, but in the former Soviet-era plant, the Voronezh Radio Parts Plant, the Minsk Plant, or the Integral Plant.

Literally recycled from scrap western computer equipment.

Your timeline is fcked.

Russia forcefully took control of those areas before the Minsk agreements were created.
The agreements were drawn up on 12 Feb 2015 with German chancellor Angela Merkel and French president François Hollande, who presumably anticipated implementation, otherwise they wouldn't have bothered.

April 2014: conflict begins​

On 12 April, unmarked pro-Russian militants led by FSB agent Igor Girkin seized the Donetsk city office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and two other police offices in the oblast.

Simply MAD! All it takes is a 100 nukes to wipe out civilization, so each side just needs 50. High inventories of nuclear warheads is just a deterant or pissing contest. The second the first strike lands its all over for all sides including the continents minding their own business

Ukraine accuses Russia of abducting Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant official​

Ukraine’s state nuclear operator has accused Russian forces of abducting a senior official at the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia atomic power plant.
Energoatom wrote on its Telegram channel that Valeriy Martyniuk, the plant’s deputy director general for human resources, had been kidnapped.
“They keep holding him at an unknown location and (are) probably using methods of torture and intimidation,” it said.
Energoatom called on International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi to take “all possible measures” to help free Martynyuk.
The plant has been held by Russian forces for months but operated by its Ukrainian staff.

If you ever watched SuperSus or Kreosan on youtube you would know that at least some of these were stripped from Chernobyl and other ex USSR military and science bases by scrappers.

So some of these weapons are already radioactive even before they get a nuke attached.

That was by no means the start of conflict...
DONETSK, March 4. /TASS/. The Ukrainian army’ conflict with the nationalist detachment Azov has resulted in a missile strike against the nationalists’ command center in the southwest of Mariupol, the deputy commander of the Donetsk People’s Republic’s militia, Eduard Basurin, told a news briefing on Friday.

"Contradictions between the Ukrainian army’s command and the nationalist groups have developed into a direct confrontation. After the commander of the operational tactical group East, Lieutenant General Sodol, suffered lethal wounds in a clash with Azov militants, who also refused to obey any orders from and coordinate operations with the Ukrainian army’s command the headquarters of the special purpose detachment Azov in the southwest of Mariupol was hit by the Ukrainian army’s missile Tochka-U," he said.
But I don't expect that to be quoted on Wikipedia.
