In regards to escalation, I’m wondering if similar conflicts elsewhere could ultimately end up fuelling this.
Last week there was a flare-up in Nagorno-Karabakh, which ultimate ended in 24 hours (though the aftermath seems far from pretty) and now Serbia seems to be massing troops on its border with Kosovo.
Serbia counts Russia as a key ally and Nato has troops stationed in Kosovo so it would end up with the same powers at play even if the conflicts aren’t directly related.

Armenia and Azerbaijan have always disliked each other but Russia's influence kept them relatively in line, now that's weakening so it's time for US/EU to step up and try to broker peace between them. Some top ranking Russian officials were killed even by Azerbaijan and they basically said "sorry bro" and Russia was okay with that, the Russians were outraged though, but it just shows how weak Russia's global influence is becoming. If Serbia thinks it can count on Russia as a key ally if it tries anything with Kosovo whilst being completely surrounded by NATO countries then they're in for a rude awakening.

Even Kazakhstan who share a massive border with Russia are basically saying fuck you.
