Although we in the west don't like it, if you are going to fight a modern war (that you are "serious" about), you attack your opponent's ability to wage war. That includes the power grid. The fact Russia waited as long as they did to do this surprises me.They undoubtedly thought it wouldn't be necessary. Yes, it isn't "nice". We have weapons especially designed to do exactly this. We used them in Iraq.
Not passing judgment on the targets, but it largely speaks to Russia’s inability to get much of anything done in the war since they took Severodonetsk and Lyshyshank months ago. Moreover, they are supposedly running out of missiles (though Russia is supposedly always “running out” of things). I think it increasingly speaks to Russias inability to mount offensive operations.
But, that may suit them just fine; they are occupying 20% of Ukrainian territory that will be hard to dislodge them from.
