This is massively embarrassing for Putin. Getting counter-invaded by your small, theoretically much weaker neighbour is a joke. And the Ukrainians have faced relatively little resistance. If Putin wasn’t the evil bastard that he is, he’d call time on this pointless, wasteful war.
The concerning thing now is that he can use this Ukrainian incursion into Russia as justification for his claims that the west is trying to destroy Russia, even though he set off this chain of events with his actions.

What’s Putin worried about? He’s sure the Ukrainian invasion will be over in only 3 days. /s
That’s not concerning at all.
They’ve made up shit to justify everything up until now. They don’t need a justification to be made for them.
Putin can (and does) claim anything at any time. No reason to worry about giving him ammunition to claim shit.
