Does make sense since Putin has run out of missiles. As he said that he was done massive attacks on Ukraine for now. In other worths he ran out of such missiles, why else say such thing? It be like FDR during WW2 saying "we will stop bombing Japan for now." Does that mean he has empathy for Japan or just ran out of bombs for now?
Russian President Vladimir Putin said Friday he had "no regrets" over his deadly missile attacks on cities and civilian targets across Ukraine earlier this week, but said there was no need for more "massive" strikes for now.

Putin has ‘no regrets’ over missile barrage in Ukraine, but says no need for more ‘massive’ strikes for now
Kyiv, UkraineCNN —
Russian President Vladimir Putin said Friday he had “no regrets” over his deadly missile attacks on civilian targets across Ukraine earlier this week, but said there was no need for more “massive” strikes for now.
The wave of missile attacks on cities across Ukraine began on Monday in response to a blast on a strategically vital bridge connecting the annexed Crimean Peninsula to Russia over the weekend. It’s unclear what caused the explosion, but Putin on Monday blamed it on Kyiv and called it a “terrorist attack” that could not be left unanswered.
The intense bombardment that followed over the next two days
killed at least 19 people and leveled civilian targets across the country, drawing global outrage. The strikes also caused
major damage to power systems across Ukraine, forcing people to reduce consumption during peak hours to avoid blackouts.
Putin said that while he did not regret the strikes and believes that Russia’s actions were correct, he did recognize that “what is happening now is unpleasant.”
