Not really that much better for russia than "never" at this point.

Here's a novel idea... if you don't want to be attacked, maybe GTFO of other people's countries and start acting civilized? Wow look at that, all drone attacks would immediately cease and you wouldn't even have to spend any money to reach your goal.

I hope Ukraine blows up that ministry post haste!

I don't know it almost might be more effective to just fly some FPV drones to the area on a fixed wing platform launch them and then land them on the roof of the Ministry dropping leaflets that say in russian "Keep it up! You are doing great! You have almost won we promise!".

That is kind of worse than just being blown up after a certain point of hopelessness when you realize your cause is terminally futile. If you don't kill the russians that fail to prevent the attack they end up still working in those positions but are now depressed about their prospects and have to hide it while everyone looks on wondering if they actually know what the hell they are doing. Either that or russia has to undertake the beaucratic burden of replacing them for "more competent" replacements.

The key change will be the creation of a new executive body, the Ministry for the Protection of Facilities of Nizhny Novgorod Oblast.

I see that the Three Day Special Military Operation is going swimmingly.

I'm wondering if the head of that ministry lasts longer than a head of lettuce. What are the odds they fall out a window or get droned

It's not so much the individual guy that I'm aiming to highlight. It's just...here was Russia's plan. A lightning strike, and victory (ignore the inset):

And four-and-a-half years in, here is what Russia is creating new government ministries to try to defend:
