It would be trivial for Russia to have wiped out the utilities in the Ukraine, as well as assassinating leaders like Zelensky.
But if you notice, Russia has done nothing like that.
It is only the Ukraine that is using these disreputable tactics.

"It would be trivial for Russia to have wiped out the utilities in the Ukraine" R5 #222

"Ukraine’s energy system1 has been regularly targeted by Russia since its full-scale invasion in 2022, with attacks intensifying since the spring of 2024."

" as well as assassinating leaders like Zelensky." R5 #222

Then with whom would they negotiate Ukraine's surrender? No.
The U.S. is already delicate about such assassination despite Fidel (didn't the U.S. have five failed murder plans / attempts against Cuba's Fidel Castro?) since the JFK assassination, because U.S. policy makers think
if we attack the leaders of other nations, we render our own leaders vulnerable.
Zelenskyy isn't Trump. But as Ukraine remains hat in hand desperate for U.S. assistance, such considerations tend to be reflected in events there.

"But if you notice, Russia has done nothing like that." R5 #222

Since 2022, Russian targeting of Ukraine's power infrastructure has sought to destabilise the electricity system by disabling large coal and gas-fired generation units and key parts of the transmission network. Prior to Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, nuclear power generated half of the country’s electricity, followed by coal-fired plants at 23% and gas-fired plants at 9%. As of the end of May 20242, about 70% of Ukraine's thermal generation capacity was either occupied or damaged, and the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant (whose 6 GW of capacity generated around one-quarter of Ukraine’s electricity supply prior to 2022) remained under Russian control.

Russia massed military invasion forces on its border with Ukraine, invaded, wages War, and seems intent on Russian assimilation / conquest of Ukraine.
