Huge parts of the Russian state are "infrastructure necessary for civil life" attacking those would be contrary to international humanitarian law. But there is also the tactical issue of whether such attacks would have the desired effect. Imagine if Russia would attempt to "cripple the US state" to stop the war in Iraq...
