> And destroying civilian infrastructure does not play well with what Russia is trying to sell for the audience.

They sell "we're only targeting military infra" and "we only escalate after unwarranted escalation by Ukraine".

They hit Ukraine's energy grid during literally the coldest days in winter. The audience's reaction? "YES LET THEM FREEZE".

Russia couldn't care less about what they need to sell. They've been hitting civilian infra right and left.

As they should. Russia did not start the war on Ukraine out of some moral imperative, but simply because they wanted to conquer Ukraine. So there is no limit to what they will attack in Ukraine.

		As they should? And we have seen limits. They toe the line with foreign dignitaries around, and haven’t levelled nuclear plants. The recent episodes where Trump has begged Ukraine to go easy n Russian has been a darkly amusing development. ‘No cards’ Zelensky must have enjoyed that.
