It gets free propaganda !
Testing the waters ofc.
Forcing an escalation
Testing Nato response times and tying up equipment in the area that cannot be send to Ukraine.
Russia is doing this to make sure NATO keeps the air defence equipment and ammo to itself rather than giving it to Ukraine.
Proving that NATO is ineffective? Eventually. Slowly. Maybe. Still worth a shot.
Diversion from internal struggles? Chest thumping about violating NATO’s border and no consequence.
I think NATO has a very mature response to all this, it’s essentially just face saving on Russia’s part. An escalation has a very high cost for NATO with a real threat of nuclear escalation.
A tough stand should be used in Ukraine, where NATO should have warned Russia of NATO’s direct intervention for Russia’s targeting of civilians (residential and office), hospitals, and schools. Unfortunately Nuclear threat always looms and everybody prefers to be cautious.
