Russia is actually running a hearts and minds campaign. If they wanted to level Ukraine, they could do so in a matter of days. But Ukraine isn’t a middle eastern shithole thousands of miles away. It’s an ethnically Russian neighbor state.

Probably. Either that, or extreme incompetence in not hitting barracks in the first few days, assuming en masse surrenders. Sort of like a reverse shock and awe.

I think opinion of the Russian public and political nation would not stand for leveling Ukraine. The battle for Ukrainian hearts and minds is probably lost, now they have to be battered into submission.
I fear that as more hatred is stoked by this conflict, they will see each other as enemies more and more, and legitimate targets for some truly horrendous attacks. The Russians more than the Ukrainians, as they're already shelling civilians and shooting POWs in the knee.
