Implication and manipulation

The implications of the first sentence covers a manipulation aimed at putting pressure on Ukraine: 1) Ukraine is stupid not to attack "a sitting duck". 2) Russians are stupid to turn their convoys into sitting ducks.

Everyone is baffled as to why Ukraine has not done more to attack the Russian convoy as it is a sitting duck for drone and airstrikes.

There are several possible explanations, Ukraine may be running out of armed drones and its small, outnumbered air force may be wary of being shot down by Russian air defence batteries.

Ben Barry from the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) suggests the Ukrainians may well be safeguarding what resources they do have in readiness to counter-attack when the Russians get closer to Kyiv.
