The Kremlin doesn't seem to have the power to do anything about it... the other bridgehead has been there for what, two weeks?

Yeah. Russia has attacked the first bridgehead repeatedly for the last pair of weeks to no avail. They don't seem to have the resources for dealing with these and bridgeheads are very difficult to maintain, which really means Russia should be able to. But as proven time and time again, they are not the force everyone thought they were. Still dangerous, but nothing even approaching a super power.

Yeah, they even launched cruise missiles at it

A literal bridgehead! There isn't a way to destroy it shot of a Moab or tactical nuke.

Yeah they're dug in right under the actual structure. I wonder what the second bridgehead is doing for defense from artillery?
