They do if they are focused on the areas of Ukraine which have effectively broken away from the new government, and are trying to minimise casualties among the normal Ukrainians. Sorry, you think Russia could have taken the eastern areas, or what, in a week? They have 4 new oblasts, and secured Crimea. I would say that's an objective. the recent pushes west (left on your screen) of Avdeevka have also meant less strikes on Donetsk. Another objective.
