The death cult continues to laugh seeing Slavs slaughtering Slavs with the clean up crew (Blackrock, Vanguard) awaiting in the wings for the rebranding & rebuilding in their image.
You make a very salient point about Russian deaths. They're willing to lose 100k men but worried about inflicting suffering on civilians? Sounds quite contradictory. My take is that Russians want to keep Ukraine as a conduit to sell gas to Europe because it's still a major profit maker. Completely destroying the grid or other significant infrastructure would lead Ukraine to respond in kind against the gas pipeline. Either this or there's some other leverage against Putin. From a military perspective, it would be obvious to destroy the enemy's rear and bring the war to an end quickly but the military doesn't make the decisions in this war.

Someone should give Putin a rifle and send him to the front.
