This is a good SOP and, for me, one of the Lessons Learned from this war. 

It would have saved everyone time and hearing damage if the Ukrainians had put up the angelic 7 year old girl whose song video went viral from a Kyiv bomb shelter early in the war. The result was foreordained regardless.

They clearly don't think they can handle the backlash, there just isn't any other explanation. So they are hunkering down and hoping for some sort of demonic miracle. The other, small, possibility is that Putin either is terminally ill, or has convinced most of the regime that he is. And the entire system is frozen in a state of behind the scenes conflict to see who gets the job next. The FSB may think it improves its odds if the army is almost completely destroyed in Ukraine. If the various factions think the top job really is in play, the larger national interest isn't even a consideration. 

who cares, if it pisses off Russia, score another one for the good guys!

To be fair, that's not really the role of generalist media. Their job is to deliver the first draft of history in broad strokes. Specialist media, like RUSI or Janes, is for the details and analysis. Think of it this way - generalist media is like wikipedia, while specialist media is like a good book. Wikipedia is a great place to start and if you just want a quick overview it's probably all you need. But it you really want to understand WTF happened you're going to have to put in some work yourself.
If you confuse the role of each, you're always going to be disappointed.

News you can use.... 
 
 

Just walked by the TV as Eurovision and Ukraine's entry was playing.  The singer gave a shout out to Azovstal and Mariupol. 
Respect is due 🇺🇦❤️.
