Analysis of Putin's military strategy and Ukraine's response, based on 'Putin Has ‘Run Out Of Ideas' | John Foreman' | TheTimes.
OPEN SOURCEPutin has reduced military displays in Moscow due to concerns over drone attacks, reflecting a shift in the war's dynamics and a potential loss of narrative control. Ukraine's recent drone strike on Moscow, resulting in casualties, highlights its growing military capabilities and changing public perception in Russia.
