So these attacks could be seen as Ukraine trying to carry out this kind of pressure even without having advanced much.

That's an interpretation, for sure. I would pick the far simpler one, though: with the ability for long range strikes developing, Ukraine is using them to try and make occupation of Crimea untenable even before the land war reaches Azov Sea. Meanwhile, they're also using the long range strike capability to russian territory to create political pressure against putin. I see no reason to doubt their stated objective of liberating all occupied territories.

Then Ukrainan command can pivot to any particular version of this strategy as events unfold.
