Putin has Swallowed a Porcupine/The HolodomorEthnic Ukrainians hate Putin because of the Holodomor, or the Ukrainian Halocuast. To subjugate independent Ukrainian intelligencia and farmers who wouldn't bow to collectivization, Stalin ordered high quotas of grain and effectively starved between 3.5 and 7.5 million people. Churches were abolished and the country was Russified. As I said before, he may take the cities but can not occupy without losing support at home. I'm pretty sure the average Russian feels exactly as you and I about using nucs So far the Ukrainian army has done a good job and right now it looks like whoever runs out of bullets first will lose.
