I saw this article from the Kyiv independent citing Forbes estimating the cost of Russian strikes on Oct 10 to be between $400 and $700 million. This level of spending to target only civilian and civilian infrastructure which provide absolutely zero opportunity on the battlefield can only be described as a terrorist act. It's a real shame that anyone in the G7 as yet to officially recognize Russia as such. A shame that Estonia, which do share a border with Russia, as more 'balls' then the US, France, Germany, Italy, UK, Canada and Japan.
Still this will only strengthen Ukrainian solidarity and troops moral, boost international support and add another nail in the coffin of Russia relations with ally such as China.
This means either :
Putin fully comprehend this and it means he knows he is losing and can't do anything about it so he throw a tamper tantrum lashing out a everything he can before he cannot anymore.
or
Putin really thinks those attacks further his goal, which only suggest he has completely loss touch with reality.
