There were enemy combatants operating out of those complexes, because they wanted Russia to bomb them for optics reasons.

The reason Russia went in so softly in the beginning was because they did not want to do a lot of of damage to the infrastructure, Had that been their intent, they would have done what we did in Iraq, with our shock & awe campaign to begin that war.

Putin has tried for years to avoid actually invading, but that is not what the U.S. wanted. They wanted a proxy war using Ukraine as fodder to goad Putin into invading. Had invading been their goal, they would not have waited 8 years to invade Ukraine.

You really are a D- level propaganda poster. Russia was leveling houses from the first day of their invasion. And they even managed to kill some Russians living in Ukraine.

Trying to pretend that Russian didn't mean to damage anything, but somehow they end up destroying thousands of apartment buildings and homes is ridiculous.

In Bordyanka, early in the war the Russians were just trying to clean the carpets as a part of their "soft" invasion.
