The Russian state must be in danger for nukes to be used.

Whatever is going on in Ukraine does not threaten the existence of the Russian State.
Almost saying that the annexed regions aren't Russian. The putin quote you gave says aggression on Russia.. you also say annexed regions are Russian.. by that logic there is daily aggression on Russia by NATO as you say Russia are at war with NATO..
So I ask again where are the nukes.

Looks like Russia’s objectives are becoming more and more maximalist

Deputy Speaker of the State Duma Pyotr Tolstoy on the return of historical lands to Russia: This process was started by civilians of two cities - Donetsk and Lugansk. Even then there was no turning back - it became clear that these lands must return to their historical homeland. But Russia must return the rest of its lands: Odessa, Nikolaev, Dnepropetrovsk, Kharkov regions - all the lands where our Russian people live, who were betrayed and abandoned 30 years ago, having invented an independent Ukraine, not caring about the interests of the inhabitants of these regions. Better late than never, but we'll fix it.

And from Medvedev:

Moscow will add more Ukrainian regions to its territory, former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev warned on the first anniversary of the country’s unification with the People’s Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk, and Zaporozhye and Kherson regions.


“Victory will be ours. And there will be more new regions within Russia,” the former president wrote.


And from a Ukro source:

MI6 transmitted intelligence to the Ukrainian Office of the President and the General Staff that the Kremlin has prepared a plan to capture 5 regions of Ukraine if the war continues into 2024. For these purposes, reserves are being accumulated on the borders with Ukraine and new brigades are being formed. British intelligence believes the Russian army could employ a million men in a new offensive.
I just can't see Russia launching offensives with such ambitions in mind. I'm sure it wants that territory and outcome but the world has moved on. It's got its hands full protecting its Black Sea fleet and Crimea and holding off the probing of its lines of defence in the south and east of Ukraine.

As for what MI6 says...pffft!
