Putin will very likely stick to the rivers and the lakes that he's used to (TLC). He's not going to try to pull off some crazy expansion into Europe. This is simply propaganda the media is pushing without evidence to ramp up support for the war.It is happening no matter how much you and old Noam sink your heads in the sand and deny it.

No military would dare try to establish a no-fly zone in Ukraine, or take that risk right now, and thank Jeebus that that level of sanity has prevailed at least.I like how you are willing to let Russian indecimantaly bomb cities. And a no-fly zone is only an issue if Putin decides to violate it.
Yes, me and the rest of the entire world are willing to let Russia indiscriminately bomb cities. If my choices are that or possible WWIII, one is the lesser of two evils and far less people die in that scenario. I'll take millions of less deaths if those are my options.
