Launching cruise missiles is more show than actual strength. Airstrikes are dangerous so there is an argument for stronger air defense. Putin has to move troops into a home country and as long as the Ukrainians are willing to fight and defend it will be a hard fought and costly win. If the Russians could win this quickly they would have done so already. They are trying to grind down Ukrainians so finding strategies to defend better and increase Russian casualties is important. That includes kill zones, longer range artillery, strategic strikes to keep Russian troops on defenses vs offences, more ground to air support, supplying basic necessities for morale reasons and high levels of diplomatic pushes. I might also develop rapid squads for movement, support, and quick strikes against moving targets.
I also agree with the news report that if he wins here he may end up trying to reclaim the Soviet Empire in other areas.
