I think the Russians have been careful not to use the word war as that could well give Ukraine the nudge it needs to send a few missiles back Russia's way which I'm sure they're more than capable of doing though not as far as Moscow (sadly), but I'd also be surprised if their are no Ukrainian special forces in Russia just waiting for the order to cause enough chaos to give Putin a bloody nose and make him think about what he's doing.
