Seems thee Russians have decided to cut short the Ukranians selfie parties in Kursk
The War in the Ukraine

It’s not like russia hasn’t been striking ukraine’s interior since the start of the war, now ukraine has the ability to do the same in a more effective way.
If they were able to do it consistently and frequently enough, sure.
With weeks between each strike either due to a lack of sufficient ammo/operators-platforms getting taken out and with effectiveness decreasing in each one as the Russians adapt, not so much.
The Ukranians have wasted a bunch of M270's and HIMARS in the Kursk adventure as it is. What this might cause is that the Russians pull the trigger on moving further into Sumy and Kharkov as buffers and eventual annexation
Russia can escalate all the way to mass destruction if these people want to.
Using enough conventional strikes to force Russia to acquiesce would quite likely result in nuclear retaliation. According to their own doctrine.
From the Intel Slava blog:
"The Ukrainian Armed Forces are critically short of spare parts for German equipment, BILD reports
Despite Germany's promise to supply Ukraine with 12 more PzH 2000 self-propelled howitzers, a significant portion of the systems already delivered remain inoperative due to wear and tear. According to BILD, Ukrainian soldiers are complaining about a shortage of spare parts, especially the barrels, which are extremely worn out after intensive use, including during the battle for Bakhmut in 2022."
Russian counteroffensive starting with the battle hardened 155th Marine Brigade.
"Counterattack of the Russian Armed Forces in the Kursk region.
The 155th Marine Brigade of the Pacific Fleet single-handedly drove the Armed Forces out of the villages:
Gordeevka, Vnezapnoe, Viktorovka, Byakhovo , and liberated half of the villages of Apanasovka and Snagost in the Kursk region.
In less than 12 hours."

Russia won’t do that, too much to loose. The Russian state is run by the rich, the last thing they want is nuclear conflict.
Reminds me of when Oligarchs parked their money in the West.
Knowing the Ukranians my bet is that they are going to wasted most of those missiles trying to Russia civilian infrastructure to cause panic and PR porpurse instead of trying to hit those missiles.
