I have literally no idea who is right or wrong here.
But I do know that it makes no military sense or any sense to try to put an IED into some girl's piano. Then again, the alleged killings at Bucha also made no sense. And neither does the constant shelling of Donetsk (which however makes more sense as no one in the Empire of Lies cares about anything bad that Ukraine does).

What sense do you seek from average Russian soldier? Average Russian soldier would shoot their own wife if that was an order (and yes, I heard that from said average Russian officer). Booby trapping a piano for lulz? That's just being creative. And that's given that I personally don't believe that story all that much.

Yeah, Donetsk so constantly shelled it has roads more intact than any unshelled city in Russia, let alone houses (before the war, that is).

How exactly would this benefit them?

Empty bragging, I assume. My soldiers are SO obedient, they'd shoot their own mother if I gave them the order. They're not exactly Prussians. And this would not explain the poor morale that is frequently asserted about Russians right now.
Because they were preparing as a trap to Ukrainian soldiers for when they had to fight inside the city. There are also examples and reports from north of Kiev and the city around it of them booby-trapping closets, pantries and other places. So when the Ukrainian soldier opens the door, or triggers the trap they are either killed or maimed.
But, the killing of civilians by Russians makes sense. We just need to look at how they wage war(and the incident with their equipment, remember Kursk?) to see why they would act the way they do. If they don't care too much about the lives of their own soldiers, why would they care about the lives of civilians of the "enemy"?

Urban warfare is such a terrible thing.

No one cares about his own soldiers unless he is made to care. I don't think this is as much a case of 'caring' or not 'caring'.
He will have to care about the civilians of the enemy, because he hopes to rule this territory. Moreover, it is used as propaganda against him. The very light hand in the early days of the war either shows not wanting to kill even enemy soldiers (in the hopes they would surrender), or extreme military incompetence.
You don't make hand grenades out of tube launched grenades retard.
Yes, you do. Or more exactly, the Chechens do.
Retard, you can.

they took heavier losses by going light early on in the war.
saying "they dont care about their own soldiers so they also dont care about civs" is not exclusive in this war.
