I highly doubt that Moscow has a policy to massacre unarmed civilians or treat them like garbage. It made sense for the Axis because it was either part of its long‐term goals of colonization or terrorizing people into obeying its demands, but in the Russian Federation’s case all that it would do is create a propaganda victory for its enemies… this is (obviously) not to say that the Russian Federation is leaving all civilians unharmed; civilian casualties are almost inevitable in warfare, and there may even be a few undisciplined soldiers doing it intentionally, but we really have no good reason to believe that it’s policy like it usually was in the Axis’s case.
There was an Amnesty International report that UAF placed it’s ammunition , rockets near civilian areas, mostly schools , residence and hospitals. In Mariupol , Azov did war crimes that is 10X times that of RAF. In krasny liman and in kherson they did ethnic cleansing yet no one is talking about that.
Yeah, bucha was orchestrated carefully to divert people’s attention from possible negotiations to warmongering. Even layman can understand when they see dead bodies with white bands and Nazi boatman calling for ethnic cleansing on video.
If anything, at a systemic level the Russians have even put themselves at militarily disadvantageous positions to avoid civilian casualties. The fiery start to the war was almost entirely military infrastructure and they have always avoided civilian infrastructure. Not to mention the millions they consensually evacuate and provide shelter and safety for. Which makes sense when it is recognized that this war is in part about coming to the aid of victims of Nazis.
I am surprised that Russia asked Azov regiments to open humanitarian corridors for 14 times… They sent buses and vehicles many times but every time they were either shelled or shot at by UAF and no one in the West had the guts to call this horrendous war crime committed by Azov regiment, only few pro Russian channels mentioned it. Shame on this world.
UN estimate total number of civilians killed on both sides on around 10000 since the Russian intervention in 2022. Considering lenght and intensity of the war, and number of military casualties being many times higher, this war have very low civilian casualty ratio compared to for example Iraq war. This not only don’t point on Russia using anything like US shock & awe doctrine, but opposite.

I gave you a valid link sadly, the ethnic cleansing did happen there were videos on Twitter but it was not reported by media

Don’t forget UA purging Bucha of “collaborators” few days after russians leave the area
Or Tochka-U missile attack on Kramatorsk killing more than 50 people
All that was done and than blamed on russians. Kramatorsk was done precisely to blame it on russians

IIRC the pro-nato channels that did mention it, claimed it was Russia shelling Ukrainian humanitarian corridors
Oh yes… How can i forget…!
