Grozny wasn't destroyed in one day. It took 2 wars to achieve that. There is still less than 3 weeks of Ukrainian war, and i'd say Russian destruction speed of Ukrainian cities beats the Chechen war - not surprisingly as Russia uses much more hardware for Ukraine cities destruction. If anything looks like Russia is going at it at the maximum speed it can with the available hardware (and giving the current war failure Putin would have brought the additional hardware if he could without leaving naked the rest of the country - there is a reason he is asking China for the hardware help).
>I will not comment on your blatant propaganda piece. There is enough of footage of Ukrainian armored forces hiding near high raise buildings, "territorial defenses" assembling in schools and hospitals, and artillery being stationed in school yards.
Still, what Russia can't show is footage of actual strike on city civilians with a valid military target in the strike zone while there are lot of footage of Russian strikes on city civilians without a valid military target in the strike zone.
Anyway, Ukrainians have got to defend their cities. By your and German Nazi logic the defenders of Stalingrad are guilty of destruction of Stalingrad.
