I'd guess that the Ukrainians are waiting for the repair equipment to show, the Russians know that and know they don't have a lot of that sort of stuff. So my guess if the RuAF will eventually use a lot of manual labor.
Which will hopefully draw a suitable response.

Ah, but it lets USSR 2.0 share its "poor us, next to these Nazis blowing up pipelines - see how we're not really the bad guys?" narrative with the world. Or at least those who'll listen & believe it, right?
To be fair though, Ukraine does have a neo-nazi problem. And a corruption problem.
It wasn't a coup, while protests did put significant pressure on the Rada to do something. Ultimately it was the Rada the voted, democratically to remove the president at the time. Call it a coup if you want but what really happened is not the definition of a coup.
So does Russia. Your statement doesn’t bring missing insight. It doesn’t lessen the illegitimacy of Russian actions.
That word does not mean whatever you think it means. The AFU did not overthrow the government.
for the survival of Ukrainian sovereignty. The war can end anytime russia chooses to fuck off out of Ukraine

You could ask the folks who invaded - twice - but we already know their narrative. Others' mileage may vary ...
Except that article flies in the face of what issues the RuAF are actually having getting contract soldiers, and glosses over the fact that the conscripts are fighting in Ukraine due to Putin changing the rules on what ‘Russia’ is considered.All this and medals too!
Despite huge manpower losses, how is Russia replenishing its military?
Moscow’s tactics, on the battlefield and domestically, are incentivising men to join and stick to the army.
To be fair, if anyone should know about how "coloured revolutions" can work, it WOULD be a country that once had a "Red" army. They know how it can go ....Some more information on the “Revolution of Dignity”.
