What Newsweek doesn't consider, is the slowly, but steady encroach of the whole southern part of Ukraine. In the end, THAT is the target. The Newsweek items are just "means" to get to that target. Despite the encroachment costing Russia a huge amount of destroyed armament and cannon-fodder, history and reality shows, Russia doesn't care about these items as long as the territory is gained. And the collateral damage they cause to the civilians and infrastructure in/of the gained territory are completely out of consideration. Somewhat of an extreme long term thinking.
