The Ukrainian military seems highly attuned to the political and symbolic dimensions of their attacks, often targeting symbols of Putin's power rather than focusing solely on military objectives.
Ordinary Russians forced to flee their homes because of the invasion, blamed the Kremlin for not keeping them safe and for the information vacuum after the attack.
Ukraine's audacious invasion of Russia's Kursk province, where its forces are still making advances more than a week into the incursion, badly dents that image.
In 2022 - and then again in 2023 - Ukraine launched devastating attacks on the Kerch Strait bridge which connects the occupied Crimea peninsula to mainland Russia.
