Nope. This is going to be a Mutually Assured Destruction if Moscow should use nukes. Nobody would be spared eventually.

Russian forces have struggled to counter Ukraine's use of US-made HIMARS rockets.

Some Russians have an explanation: HIMARS has a secret feature that makes it harder to target them.

In September, Russian defense blog Avia wrote about why Russian artillery has been not able to knock out Ukraine's M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, which fire GPS-guided rockets that have savaged vital Russian targets such as ammunition dumps, command posts, and bridges.

In theory, Russia's huge arsenal of howitzers and multiple-launch rocket systems should be able to destroy HIMARS by using counter-battery radar to track the trajectory of the rockets it fires back to their launch point. Ah, but those clever Americans have a trick, according to Avia's unsigned blog post: They designed HIMARS so its rockets would change trajectory and fool counter-battery radars.

Rocket launchers in general are hard to destroy. They are mobile systems.It takes less than 5minutes to launch all the missiles loaded onto them and they don't stay after executing their task. They leave the position immediately to avoid detection. Russia managed to destroy few. They are not defense systems, they can't protect themselves.

I think the Tor defense systems has shown it ability to shot down missiles fired from HIMARS. They should supply their troops with more Tor defense systems and increase their search for the launchers themselves, so that they can be destroyed.

No massive missile strikes are necessary for now (President Putin a few days ago).
I.e kamikaze drones are also effective.
TriittNG:

The Russian Defense Ministry said on Sunday that Russian forces targeted Ukrainian energy facilities and military command hubs using high-precision missiles earlier in the day.

Precision strikes against Ukrainian infrastructure have been carried out throughout the week.

To some useful idiots on this forum: you folks claimed Russia was already out of missiles, you said Ukraine received Western air defense systems blah blah blah.
Then how is this possible?
Reality is different from your hallucinations. That's why you're mostly ignored by the sane majority.

If Russia continue to attack Ukraine at this rate for the next 2-3 months. Ukrainians will protest against their government. Which will likely bring an end to the war.

Common sense will prevail, Zelensky would be overthrown and a new Ukrainian leader will negotiate, make concessions and reach a peace deal with Russia.
One side has a history of violating legally binding agreements and that side is not Russia.

You seem to underestimate the Ukrainians. Lmao. Russian attacks will further create more Ukrainian soldiers that will move to the battlefronts. Ukrainians understand that giving into Russian demands will turn them to Belarus and this cannot be allowed to happen.

Did anything change in Afghanistan or Iraq? We are talking about raw nationalism here, bro. Instead, a neo-militant group will rise up and take the fight to Russia itself.

It also happen in the West (mass shootings and sort).
Basically, when Zelensky is overthrown, the new Ukrainian leader recognized by Russia can agree that the other parts of Ukraine where a referendum (a referendum to join Russia) had not been held will join Russia as a new federated entity with or without a referendum.
A fringe minority of dissents will only wag their tongues.
Zelensky's militants will be disorganized and reduced to boko haram status.
