Ukraine is finding its feet on its own in a challenging situation, but drone strikes alone are seen as a weak effort overall by people who look on warfare as a means to an end. They advocate for a consistent measure against an adversary, one that prioritises quick wins and an even more efficient finish.
Putin is clearly not quaking in his boots, even if he shakes his head in a sort of parental disapproval. His dismay over a strike on St Petersburg is not an overpowering feeling for a man who is as easily dissatisfied by matters he looks for in his armed forces by himself.
The peacemakers want all arms dropped and for both sides to shake hands. This isn’t going to happen, and more needs to be supplied to Ukraine to continue a push to fight Russia back and to contain it inside its own territory once more. This means heavier impact by much more powerful attack strategies.
