I've never seen such a depressed crowd of people on what should be seen as a victory, or more like a scared crowd, which should be alarming to Putin because these are just going along with Putin's actions because they are scared of being thrown out of a window, but that fear can only go so far, the worse the war gets or the more Putin tries to escalate the war that could personally impact a lot of the people in that room as well as Russian people, Putin will end up finding out that these sacred cats have claws and once pushed into a corner, they'll lash out.
Basically, if Putin keeps pushing, these people could turn on him and it will be Putin's life at risk, especially if there is a real threat of nukes being used, it's easy to use the threat of nuke, but good luck to Putin if he used them, as he might as well dig his own grave.
In any case, those regions are already slowly being taken back by Ukraine and for all the excuses from Putin in claiming they are Russian, he's not done anything to escalate the war, I doubt Putin is stupid enough to escalate to that point as he likely knows what it means for his own life, so he'll continue with his bluff game which he's been doing for years now.
