So far, the Russian military has waged a “soft” war, avoiding attacks on strategic infrastructure facilities in Ukraine in an attempt to minimize damage to the civilian population. Such a strategy has already slowed down the Russian advance on the battlefields and increased losses among the Russian military.
Amid Russia’s recent losses in the Kharkiv region, the Russian military has probably switched to tougher methods of warfare, which are necessary for victory. If so, this marks the beginning of it. Ukraine is fighting a scorched earth type of warfare, but are under-manned and even more so in regards to fire power. This is why 20% of the Ukro-Nazi force is now foreigners. Russian speaking citizens living in the Kharkiv-Izium region who worked with or even took aid from Russian troops will pay the heaviest price. Let's pray they are able to escape.
Notice the Russian side has yet to confirm the attacks. There is a chance that Kiev struck at its own facilities in order to blame Russia for the attacks and justify military actions on the Russian territory, while Ukrainian forces are approaching the Russian border in the Kharkov region. The Ukro-Nazis are already firing artillery at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, which could cause major contamination of radiation, and are looking to blame Russia for the disaster.
By judging how quickly Zelensky condemned Russia for the blackout, my gut right now is telling me that the UkroNazis did this to justify attacks on the Russian homeland. Targeting Russian cities like Belgorod has been occurring for some time now.
I believe it is inevitable that the Russians will be forced to to amp-up their warfare on the Ukro-Nazis.
I have seen reports on intel_slava_z (Telegram) that the attacks have been prosecuted with sea-launched cruise missiles (video of launches and arrivals). One power plant has been hit and inoperable. The trains have stopped working. A satellite photo shows nighttime Ukraine as a big dark blot. If it is a self-inflicted wound, it looks to be close to fatal.
u/Tewdryg There is no reason for the Ukrainians to destroy their own power plants, because their mostly electrified trains are integral to their logistics. As a result of the blackouts, the Ukrainian military trains stopped dead, where they became sitting ducks for Russian missiles.

You may be right. I don't know. That's really my point. So far the Russians are quiet on the issue though. Nevertheless, this doesn't mean they didn't target the electrical infrastructure. It would be logical that the Russians ought to do this and would mark the beginning of a more comprehensive military strategy. The "soft war" they have been fighting is no longer effective. It was designed to protect the Ukrainian people from destruction and bloodshed and to focus only on UkroNazi military assets. It's understandable why the Russians chose this path, especially with a large population of Russian speakers in the Donbass. The UkroNazis however easily learned this strategy and is the reason why they repeatedly set up military assets in civilian areas using public schools and hospitals as command centers. It's despicable using civilians as human shields. But, this is precisely the character of government we are dealing with. This has worked to their advantage and Kiev with their Western Cabal financiers have been winning the propaganda war, but not the actual war itself.
Russia needs to turn the page from this "soft war" and initiate a more encompassing strategic plan for winning this war. The stakes are too high. The UkroNazi artillery targeting on Russian civilian centers is an act of war. Russia ought to realize this and change tactics. It makes sense your premise may be correct, that is, only if Russia is finally turning the page for a more comprehensive military strategy.
Lastly, any Ukraine sourced material hasn't been credible. In war, truth especially suffers due to propaganda. The same credibility issue could be said of Russia, except Russia has been consistently more measured and consistent with the reports than Kiev has. The two leaders, one being a sadistic comedian, who on stage played the piano with his pecker and also has no issue of cross-dressing on national TV, compared the other, who himself is a Russian Eastern Orthodox Christian and reestablished the Christian church in Russia is hated by the Western Satanic Cabal. This gives me a good sense of who more to believe.
