    Or it will just harden resolve and fulfill the propaganda they have already been fed.

    When the only information you’ve bern given about the whole thing is that the west is aggressive towards Russia and you needed to invade to stop their aggression, getting bombed at home isn’t gonna make you question that. It’s just gonna make you believe it even more.

    Either way, it doesn’t really matter what Russians think about it. I love to see these strikes.

      The immediate impact of these strikes is in forcing Russia to commit air defense resources to protect places hundreds of miles from the front, that they’d otherwise have deployed against the Ukrainian offensive. Getting that for the cost of a few drones is a huge win for Ukraine.

        Indeed, and Russia also bears an indirect cost through the economic disruption.
