These random building attacks feel like a red flag operation. They don’t serve a military objective, they do more to mobilize the population. I just don’t see Ukraine targeting random buildings in Moscow downtown. If they’re going to go that close. They’re going to hit something military
There’s plenty of reasons why Ukrainians might hit random buildings. Official buildings would have much better security, making hitting them more of a gamble. As to why striking random buildings helps Ukraine: it shakes Russians out of their sense of security and brings the war to them, and it imperils Moscow’s civilian airspace and thus could eventually impact the city’s economic activities.
Most of the population doesn’t give a fuck about their country invading Ukraine because they have their heads comfortably in the sand. Those who aren’t ignoring it, either already fully support it or are fully against it.
“This is affecting me now. I don’t like it” is the more likely response you’d see from the majority. They just want things to be how they were, and them going to the front is the exact opposite of it.
This “it could anger and provoke the Russians” rhetoric is not rooted in reality.

Mobilize the population?
