This is because they themselves have never hesitated to bomb the shit out of their enemies, including when they were “the good guys” of ww2.
Even as a normal American this is kind of odd to me. In Russia it seems more acceptable to feed their own prisoners and poor conscripts to the meat grinder than to kill random Ukrainians in indiscriminate bombings. You're supposed to kill the enemy not your own people. In fact the US was with fine burning hundreds of thousands of innocent Japanese people alive to save the predicted 1 million US soldiers that would be needed to invade Japan. We shock and awed tens of thousands to death in Iraq and Afghanistan because 2000 people were killed by terrorists. Civvie or soldier, our people are worth more than yours.
I guess Russia wants to leave infrastructure intact?
