Is Ukraine about to have a war?
They could declare an exclusion in the Black Sea and do an air burst as a demonstration of capability and intent, unless there is some other empty space available.
Except theses were actual weapons tests, not demonstrations of intent for the attention of an adversary they were actively fighting.
Randomly detonating a nuke over some place with no military value just to prove a point makes zero sense, especially if it prompts a NATO intervention and/or the opprobrium of the world at large.

Alright, I know Russia probably wouldn't worry about breaching another treaty, but it's all ammunition to eventually use against them.
We know they have the capability, but what would this actually demonstrate, other than they're sh*t scared of actually using one in anger, for fear of the consequences?

Wouldn't Russia seriously upset downwind located China with any nuke use?

I'm sure that would go down well with Turkey/Greece/Bulgaria/Romania/Georgia/and probably Iran/Azerbaijan (not to mention those Russians planning a vacation in Sochi).

Hmm, the biggest country on Earth looking for some space for a weapons test...

Follow up to report of Russian retreat…
The Russian invaders are retreating chaotically and abandoning the north of Kherson region. Ukrainian defenders are chasing them to Beryslav.
Davydiv Brid, Velyka Oleksandrivka, Starosillya and other settlements have been liberated.

The Russian command will try to establish a defensive line covering the Nova Kakhovka dam. That means they try to fortify Berislavka and Kozatske.
