Russia is really cementing that history will be unkind to them. The documentary films and series made will be filled with their atrocities against civilians and civilian infrast6for decades to come.

It is important to note: civilian infrastructure

Basically another 'cap' to their never ending list of war crimes

If Ukraine won't strike strike back on Russian infrastructure, then this will never stop. Even if Russia fully retreat back home, they still will have money and ability to terrorise Ukraine. Even if West will provide defence systems, there will be still missiles and drones that pass through and eventually they will destroy all of power plants / infrastructure.

>If Ukraine won't strike strike back on Russian infrastructure, then this will never stop.

Oh so Russia does it because Ukraine is attacking them? So now Russia is the victim? You must have been dropped on your head during delivery in order to write this.

You realise that would play perfectly into Putin's narrative? Most of his propaganda has been to paint "Ukraine atrocities against Russians" and that he's simply trying to 'defend Russia' e.g. the dirty bomb claim, Zelensky Nazi claims, Russian oppression from Ukraine etc..

This would allow him to basically now have full reign to get full medieval and even get back to his nuclear weapons "option" as a justification.

Also, it would help with conscription and galvanising his people to finally supoort his insane rhetoric at unprecedented levels. It would be a collosal6shit storm

You might want to read the previous comment again bro

I apologize i got caught off guard by the double strike word. Now let me skedaddle my dumbass outta here.

And what if it will play into Putin narrative? Russian seems to support this war, they have not started any revolution even if they are being drafted as Canon folder. I would not care less about what are Russian thinking.

Yeah nuclear weapon threat is just threat, that is all.

No it won't be any storm, as I already told Russian do support this war in most cases. They are completely brainwashed by propaganda.

If Ukraine won't strike back, then Russia will continue with this and destroying infrastructure of Ukraine means destroying economy.

That the thing, most infrastructure such as power, water, etc are considered to be military targets by the vast majority of modern military powers, as military do benefit & use the utilities.

It’s important to keep in mind (we) the US knocked out water, power, sewage, comms, etc one day one in Iraq. It’s definitely a moral issue but by no means is it directly considered to be a war crime.

Granted. acording to the ICRC’s study on customary international humanitarian law (IHL)

Practice Relating to Rule 42. Works and Installations Containing Dangerous Forces

>Article 56 of the 1977 Additional Protocol I provides:

>1. Works and installations containing dangerous forces, namely dams, dykes and nuclear electrical generating stations, shall not be made the object of attack, even where these objects are military objectives, if such attack may cause the release of dangerous forces and consequent severe losses among the civilian population. Other military objectives located at or in the vicinity of these works or installations shall not be made the object of attack if such attack may cause the release of dangerous forces from the works or installations and consequent severe losses among the civilian population.

Its also important to note that

In many States customary international law – or the practice underlying its rules – can be invoked before national courts and tribunals. In Israel, for example, the Supreme Court delivered a judgment in 2008 concerning restrictions on the flow of fuel and electricity to Gaza. The court referred to customary IHL and the ICRC study which stated that "each party to a conflict is obliged to refrain from disrupting the passage of basic humanitarian relief to populations needing it in areas under its control."
