Not all Starlink are on the exact same orbital plane. There is some asymmetry but at the same time Starlink sats can also avoid debris from known places. On this altitude debris would quickly drop out so you would never get Kessler synonym. Russia would have to shoot down a huge amount of sats. And SpaceX can easily have 100-1000x the upmass of Russia. And this is before you can consider lots of counter-measures the US could potentially do.
