The ukrainians have rather skillfully denied their airspace to the russians using their own AD assets and as a consequence of russian doctrine, they aren't too prepared to deal with SEAD missions so we get this weird situation where both sides deny airspace to each other

Or they cannot if AA capabilities catch up. Ukraine looks like an interesting case study for future air power between (near-) peers.
