Russia targets Ukrainian Infra. It goes down and ukraine brings it back online. They also have air defense assets protecting key infra. Russia doesnt leave it up because of moral reasons, they're doing what they can to win and that includes attacking the grid.

I think it's a bit insane to think that Russia couldn't completely and totally obliterate civilian central infrastructure in Ukraine if it wanted to. It's not like these locations are hidden or top-secret, or like Ukraine has the ability to completely and inevitably stop the attacks. However, whatever wins this achieved would probably instantly be overshadowed by the negatives. Think of mass famine, relocation, refugee-ism, ... Not to mention a destroyed infrastructure that the eventual owner needs to rebuild as a first priority. Not even to mention the increased levels of international condemnation due to such a targeted attack on a civilian population.

It really can not. > It's not like these locations are hidden or top-secret, or like Ukraine has the ability to completely and inevitably stop the attacks. You'd be surprised how much explosives you need to actually destroy the infrastructure. Russia simply doesn't have enough long-range rockets, and drones can't carry large charges.

They're pretending to suck at war for 3 years for fun ? They're pretending to use 50 years old equipment as a decoy for ww3 ? They're pretending to get all their refineries shut down for reasons ?
