What incentive is there for Russia to use nukes?
Someone here erroneously believes that Russia has already tried this and failed. That is just useless propaganda. Russia can very easily take out the Ukraine's power grid. Those electric sub-stations just don't deal well with explosives and cannot be defended against by the air attacks Russia can launch. The country's Water -works can similarly be taken out
I think Russia will first fully mobilize and throw that at the Ukrainians before using nukes...unless they can't fix their logistics problems.

What is left to mobilize other than a bunch of new poorly trained conscripts who have been watching in horror at the tens of thousands of dead and maimed Russians returning home from brutal combat?
Has Russia been holding back its best armor and aviation all this time?
Does Russia have a secret stash of additional artillery and rocket rounds they haven't already wasted in Ukraine?
Can Russia even fix or build new kit with their primitive tech industry that was totally reliant on the West?
The fact that the usual suspects are now talking nukes and using energy as a weapon to freeze out Europe lends me to believe that Russia has already lost the conventional war.

European Contributions to Ukraine: Under $10B
US Contributions to Ukraine: $80B
Keep in mind the rest of NATO is as rich, maybe richer, than the USA.
Yup, they're getting serious. Ukraine is in for it.

Kremlin Spokesman Says No Mobilization Despite Ukrainian Counteroffensive Success
The Kremlin says there are no plans to announce a full or partial mobilization for Russia's ongoing unprovoked invasion of Ukraine as Russian troops suffer losses and lose territory in the Kharkiv region to a counteroffensive.
"At this point, no, there is no talk about it," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on September 13, answering a journalist’s question about the possibility of a mobilization.
Peskov also said that any criticism of Russian military officials over Ukraine's recent successes on the battlefield in Ukraine's Kharkiv region could be made only "in accordance with the current legislation."
"But the dividing line here is very thin. One should be very careful here [when criticizing Russian military leadership]," Peskov warned, in a thinly veiled reference to a law adopted in March, days after Russian launched its invasion of Ukraine in late February, that criminalized any criticism of the invasion.

Thank you EU for making Ukraine the seat of all of your criminal enterprises, and then throwing them into the furnace of war while you sit in your Swiss castles and chalets unfazed and unharmed, with your go bags ready for Argentina and Australia.
Russian authorities have denied mobilization 15 times--- Moscow Times
Officials, including the president, have denied mobilization plans 15 times since the start of the war with Ukraine, according to The Moscow Times.
There were three denials a week before.
March 8, President Vladimir Putin: "There will be no additional call-up of reservists from the reserve."
March 25, Andrey Klishas, head of the constitutional committee of the Federation Council: “Mobilization is not envisaged. A complete travel ban for all Russians or groups of the population is also not.”
May 4, press secretary of President Peskov: "This is not true, this is nonsense."
May 5, Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin: “No. No. I will tell you on the air and without the air” (to the question about mobilization).
May 5, Deputy Chairman of the Duma Committee on Defense Yuri Shvytkin: "Rumors appear with reference to foreign sources in order to sow some confusion, panic among the population."
May 6, Ministry of Culture: “This is a fake” (about armor from mobilization for cultural workers).
May 20, Andrey Gurulev, a member of the Duma Defense Committee: “The bill on lifting the age limit for contract servicemen cannot be considered any form of mobilization.”
June 14, the head of the Federation Council Committee on Defense Viktor Bondarev: "An additional conscription into the Russian army in the light of the special operation will not be required."
June 16, Peskov: "These are false informational stuffing"
June 21, Peskov: "These are pure fakes"
July 26, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation: "A number of foreign media disseminate unreliable information about allegedly some kind of mobilization activities."
September 12, Senator Andrei Klimov: “There is no need to introduce mobilization. The enemy would very much like mobilization to begin in Russia, then the people would begin to seethe and they would get the main thing.
September 11, State Duma deputy Andrey Gurulev: "Today there is no such need."
September 13, the head of the Duma Committee on International Affairs, Leonid Slutsky: "There is no need to be afraid of stuffing about mobilization."

Ppl will fucking PANIC like it is May (or was it March?) 18th 2020 again.
The fools (majority) will swarm COSTCO to buy up all the water and toilet paper.
The (few) smart ppl will get straight into their cars and floor it out of Dodge, period. The freeways will still jam up because of all the accidents caused by these peeps tho.
The Survivalists will throw out all the wife's crap that has accumulated in their bunker and button up tight.
But if Russia uses chemical weapons, ppl won't care.
Such is the Power of Nukes of any size.
