Also, damaging civilian infrastructure and injuring/killing civilians only benefits the Ukranian government as they try to pressure the West to intervene in this Russian Military Intervention.
The Russians have made sure to leave escape routes for civilians but some of the Ukranian military have shut those routes down to prevent civilians from leaving.
It's the Ukranian government/military that want civilian casualties, not the Russians.
Why else hand out AK47's to untrained civilians (turns out most people who took up the offer were gangs who then used the weapons to fight each other and loot)?
Why else conscript all males 18-60 years old and ban them from leaving the country?
They are trying to engineer civilian deaths to entice the West into defending them.
This is all about protecting their illegal operations and massive money laundering operations rather than protecting Ukranian civilians.

That's not going to happen, and they know that's not going to happen. The West has used up all its leverage. If they actually cared about their people, they'd be looking for an armistice/peace like mad, instead of trying to fight to the last drop of their people's blood.
Presumably because they ran out of trained civilians to hand them out to, not that I am familiar with how the handing out procedure went on. If your latter claim is accurate, chances are they were trained civilians, given that your average ex-USSR thug did go through conscription service.

Because it's a fucking war, you idiot. Not some minor stomping on a country with vastly inferior military that would degenerate into dealing with insurgency after cleaning up the country in few days, but actual war against opponent that has far superior firepower on paper. Now, I am sure if one day your country gets invaded by opponent with comparable firepower (let alone greater one), the first thing you will do is lift white flag and wave it around while fleeing for your life, but sometimes governments don't like it.

That you're probably right on, by the way. Ukrainian civilians in this situation are nothing but people caught in crossfire between aging checkist and globohomo (whether it is cooperation or conflict, fuck if I know, both work).
It's the Ukranian government/military that want civilian casualties, not the Russians.
Rather, it's that civilian casualties are good for Ukraine and bad for Russia. Obviously, neither side gives a damn if 10,000 or a million Ukrainians die, but for the fact that it harms or helps their politics.

The Ukrainian government is sacrificing its own people.
Yes, definitely.
