Pffft dumb suggestion, look how much drama Israel has had flattening Gaza. All they’ve done in 3 months is murdered a heap of women and children, and turned an 80x20km strip into a guerrilla war against an army with next to no decent weapons.
How exactly is Russia supposed to do this without killing a million civilians? Israel’s brutality highlights the fact that Russia IS NOT indiscriminately bombing urban areas.
Their goal of demilitarising Ukraine hasn’t changed. How would attacking Kyiv help achieve this? I’ll tell you right now it won’t.
And don’t start with the battle of Kyiv crap, it didn’t happen.

IDK about Russia IS NOT indiscriminately bombing urban areas, but the civilian death toll in Gaza in 3 months is a little over double the number in Ukraine since war started. So I'll give you the general point.

Gaza is not really in any way synonymous to Kyiv
So what you're now saying is that the attack on Kyiv actually didn't happen?

That's the word from Moscow. Iirc, it was all a brilliant ruse and the loss of armored columns and elite paratroopers was always the plan.

The civilian death toll difference from bombing campaigns is largely a function of Russia's lack of air superiority. If Russia was able to fly bombers over Ukraine at will, the carnage would likely be much greater. Instead they have been relegated to firing missiles and artillery (inaccurate in both cases). Israel has been able to "carpet" bomb at will from the air.

The UkroNazis just bombed a market in Donetsk killing 25 civilians https://twitter.com/squatsons/status/1749109511737028863
Bombing busy crowded markets full of civilians... a UkroNazi tradition since 2014.
Just another reminder that the only "cure" for Ukraine at this point is for Russia to put it down. Progress is being made on that front - there are Russian advances on almost every front today. The Ukrainian defense continues to crumble.
Avdiivka especially is feeling the heat. This is just another act of petulant rage on behalf of the UkroNazis as they are losing and won't be able to bomb Donetsk for much longer.

Absolute nonsense. If Russia wanted to massacre thousands of civilians every week, they could. It would just be a matter of putting in the right co-ordinates for the Iskanders, Kalibrs, FAB's, etc.
If they wanted to, they could go block by block in Kiev and level every single apartment building that exists with long-range missiles and glide bombs.
They don't, because they're not a bunch of barbarians like Israel.

This has been discussed here a million times. Russia never had the forces in place that would be required for a proper assault on Kyiv city itself but rather had just enough forces in place to put pressure on Zelensky to sign a peace deal quickly.
When they decided this strategy wasn't going to work and there would be no peace, they withdrew to focus on the Eastern front. It should be noted that they didn't withdraw from Kyiv environs because they were forced back, but for political reasons.
You could say Russia blundered by not committing enough forces at the start of the war and for being naive to think they could get Zelensky to commit to a peace agreement quickly, as this ultimately also led to withdrawals from Kherson and Kharkov due to a lack of forces in theater compared to Ukraine.
However, they fixed this mistake via mobilization and since withdrawing from Kherson/Kharkov have killed so many Ukrainians which combined with mobilization of their own has tipped the balance of forces in Russia's favor dramatically. Now they are poised to win the war militarily, while Ukraine finds itself facing a crisis due to an acute lack of manpower and armored vehicles/SAM systems.

Sure... If ignore the fact that this is precisely what Russia did to Bakhmut, before they ran low on munitions and were forced to to be far more strategic with them. Now they have to use shahed drones to target civilians, so the death tokl stays lower than otherwise.
