The only militarily effective use of a cruise missile is in taking out high-value targets that stand in the way of an immediate military objective.
Also … they’re expensive, n limited supply and given the sanctions imposed on Russian industry, quite possibly irreplaceable. It’s ultimately self-defeating because when they really need them, they won’t have them, and in the meantime they are only stiffening Ukrainian resolve to resist.

Yes, Ukraine continues to execute its logical plan. Russia denies the
Moskva was hit by Ukraine but then panics by firing missiles all across Ukraine. More a display of weakness than strength.
