“Aim small, miss small.”
Given that (IMHO) Russian military tactics really rely deeply on the leadership to make things happen, is it possible that the Uke snipers know this, believing that no one at a lower rank will take charge of a battle?
Give the Russian’s a taste of their own medicine.

What insignia or decoration do the Russians have on their uniforms that would make them easy to pick out of a crowd?
It’s quite unfortunate that it has come to this. But here we are. The Russians are monsters. If they suffer tremendous casualties, then they’ll have no choice but to call for cease fire.
You can identify and get the location of an individual on a battlefield by using technology that homes in on radio signals. The Russian senior officers are likely revealing themselves by constant chatter on radio networks giving orders. It’s the way the Israelis almost killed Solimini when he was directing a firefight in Syria. Surprised the Russians are taking this risk. Some admiration that their senior people lead from the front.
Good!
Sounds like a tough day if you wear silver or gold on your collar.

Where are they going to hide? They are all just big fat targets.
They should turn their vehicles around and hi-tail it back
home, where they belong.

Are we getting into the snipers everywhere narrative now?
Cause the last three dozen ones turn out false or highly exaggerated???
Wow, that's amazing. How many snipers shot him?
Needs more Simo Häyhä, just in Ukrainian.
Біла смерть
Wow! Ukraine is really kicking their ass. I guess all those cities aren’t really falling into the hands of the Russians.
This is getting to be like Climate Change and COVID. Just constant BS.
This is a smart move by Ukraine. Russia has never believed in delegation of mission; in other words, only senior officers know the objective of a mission or operation (there is no cascading chain-of-command as to the objective). In the Russian military (as in the Soviet military before it), Russian (or Soviet) troops would pretty much stop if their leadership was disabled. Russian troops are great followers, but show no initiative.
It is not like the US military, which expects subordinates to complete the mission even if senior officers are taken out. Because of this, subordinates are apprised of the mission. Thus, for example, if the mission is a company-level operation, and the officers and senior NCOs are taken out, junior NCOs know the mission and will carry it out.
Exactly why the US should put marksmanship back into the High School sports curriculum.
