Declaring war is a boring, formal process that acknowledges authority other than himself, of course he doesn't want to do it. Why do all of that when he already has the thrill of ordering the deaths of random civilians and having the footage streamed live to him while he scarfs down a McDouble?

The Russian state has stirred up a strong and very irrational national-ethnic hatred of Ukrainians from what I've seen. Their continued resilience is an insult to Russian pride and chauvinism, so the nationalist will pay heavy costs to try to make them kneel.
