Take-driven social media usage means nobody has the self-control and good sense to wait for the dust to settle a bit. We've seen the outbursts of triumphalism from pro-russian and pro-ukrainian posters whenever nearly anything happens, it's absurd.
I do think 30k mercenaries in such a major area (or so very close to it at least) is a bigger deal than you're taking it to be, since at the very least it will make people feel much more unsafe where they likely thought they wouldn't be affected by any of this stuff.
