If the goal were to instill fear in Russian citizens, they'd be attacking Russian citizens.

They are not.

They are attacking a Russian supply line to hamper their offensive efforts.

When you give bad faith actors the benefit of the doubt, you look like a bad faith actor yourself. Stop parroting Russian talking points as if there's a way for Ukraine to have their approval without capitulating.

For example, like the Kremlin is bombing Ukrainian apartment buildings and murdering civilians.
