1: Dramaturgically, it makes no sense - you just saved him.
2 & 3: Why and how? They're inside the rock, survived the MOAB, and you wrote that the rock is designed to keep an army at bay (I don't believe that such a thing exists, but these are your words)
4, 5, 6: Not without nuclear escalation
7 & 8: Possible, but then again Zubkhov is severely wounded, and he's the only one who knows. Plus, everybody knows that heroic kids in a war novel cannot die (and with those words I may have sealed their fate...).
9: Maybe
10: Why & how, without nuclear escalation? He's in Canada. Nobody attacks Canada. At least, it wouldn't make any military/strategic/narrational sense
11: More likely than others. Plus, he's a baddie.
12: Your call, the conditions are all set. But it would violate genre conventions.
