Homes, a maternity hospital, a shopping center, and a metro station were hit as part of the attacks. The attack may have been linked to the destruction of a Russian landing ship in Crimea.
Not at all. If anything it would just create more support in Russia. You think Putin would care about a few civilians?
Hitting economic hot spots such as gas or military bases is way more effective
Dunno which clowns downvoted you. All attacking civilians does is make them resolve to destroy whoever attacked them. History has proven that time and time again, but some people are too dense to understand the concept. Military and war production are always valid targets, civilians are not.
The war really can’t have more support than it current does in Russia. Pretty much the whole country is actively or passively supporting it. So this theory has already been soundly debunked. The Russian people care only about their own situation, and until they feel the results of this war, there will be no real opposition. Support can’t go up from here, but with some help it can go down.
If you compare Ukraine to Palestine there have been almost 3 times less civilian deaths, 20 times less child death. That’s not percentages but pure death numbers. Ukraine has 25 times the population size of Palestine.
In percentages israel had killed 50,000% more Palestinian children and about 6000% more Palestinian civilians than Russia has done in Ukraine.
If Russia was really purely targeting densely populated Ukrainian cities, the civilian death count in Ukraine would be looking a whole lot worse.
Targeting civilians has never been an effective way to deter an enemy, it just makes them angrier.
Really? So 14,000 civilians killed and twice as many wounded isn’t good enough for you? Bombing hospitals, schools, shopping malls, markets? And those are just the confirmed numbers from the UN. Real numbers are probably into 6 figures. Yeah, Putin’s just a decent guy spreading merriment I see.
