Give it a break. Etkind is among the most anti-imperial and pro-Ukrainian Russians. You are deliberately misinterpreting his intentions and doubling down. You should apologise for those accusations, which aren’t compatible with someone attached to a university.

Except this isn’t imperialistic at all. “All going to plan” refers to the the regular refrain from the Kremlin that the SMO is going to plan. This post is saying- look, thanks to the invasion Ukraine is getting its own missile capability and will be able to hit back inside Russian territory.
