other targets that would affect daily life in Russia, Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities? Russia targets civilian installations, and now a children's hospital, it cannot get more criminal than that, but the Russian people are not suffering from the invasion, to them it must be something foreign they cannot grasp completely, besides the economic problems the invasion is causing, but other than that life in Russia is same as usual while Putin has destroyed cities and killed an enormous number of civilians.

So...what prevents Ukraine from targeting Russia installations? I just don't understand it.
