Nonsense. The Russians are doing everything they can to win this war. If they have not done something it is because they can't.
And, they should if Ukraine keeps launching attacks on Russia territory.
So the Russians can keep bombing the Ukrainians but the Ukrainians are not suppose to do anything in retaliation?
Yet your knees bang together in fear of Russia invading all of Europe. How many moons are there in your world?
The Russians intentionally decided to go with a slow, war-of-attrition, meat grinder approach. Why? Because 1) it saves lives and 2) they have huge advantage in ammo and missile production.
Ukraine is losing ground daily, at a much faster rate recently. That will continue until Russia controls everything east of the Dnieper river.
It's an incredibly stupid strategy because it guarantees Russia will hit Ukraine back harder.
You're too blind to realize that Russia must certainly can and will continue to takeout Ukraine's energy grid if there continue to be attacks on targets in Russia. And, eventually, all bridges over the Dnieper river will be targeted by the Russians.
The people in the annexed areas and Crimea don't want to be part of Ukraine again and haven't wanted to see the illegal coup in 2014. The smart thing to do is realize that and save what's left of the rest of the country, which Russians don't care about because it doesn't have a high percentage of ethnic Russians in it, by surrendering and agreeing to remain a neutral country.
Otherwise, the following is going to happen 1) Russia will take everything east of the Dnieper 2) Odessa and 3) and the war by taking Kiev. If the latter happens, Ukraine likely won't exist anymore. Poland, Hungary and Romania will scoop up what the Russians don't want.
The Russians are trying to maximize Uranian soldier deaths while minimizing destruction of what is left of Ukraine. Taking the ruins of what was a city is pointless.
