I think it's mainly because no one is sure if Putin won't start a nuclear war over it. A global nuclear war could become an extinction level event. Even if it seems unlikely that he would do that, it has to be on the back of their minds.
Wars can escalate out of control fast.

At this point I seriously doubt whether Putin is sane. Nothing can be ruled out.

I'm surprised US warned of full scale invasion for months yet Ukraine never declared general mobilization

Just heard from a reporter that French diplomats have been remarking that 'the Putin they have been speaking to lately is not the Putin of the past'

He's getting old. Maybe he wants to rush his legacy.

His hour long speech about recognizing rebels he was not his usual self either. I've seen enough Putin speeches over decades to notice it too.

I cannot fathom a situation where they are close to Lviv and NATO idly sits by. It's within a 300 km radius of FOUR NATO countries.

He absolutely ruined his legacy today, no matter the war outcome. And, provided he's still sane, he knows it. Russians are feared and shocked by these developments

His target legacy is different from a positive legacy for the Russian people though.

Protesters are likely going to be flamed with flamethrowers and I mean this seriously.

I think its just UCB for what its worth.
That said, crazy reading through r/Ukraine and its posts - same sort of topics as if posted by you or I online, except they're acknowledging they're now being invaded and in war. Its a surreal juxtaposition

Putin is a crazy madman, but the only legit point he has is that there was an agreement for NATO not to expand eastwards near Russia and that was not respected
