But why are they targeting civilians?
Because de-Nazification = misdirection for Ukrainian (nationality) genocide = Getting rid of the people Putin doesn't like, because they are not brainwashed Russian peons for him to do with as he likes, in the bits of Ukrainian land that he likes (partly for mineral, partly to cut Ukraine off from the Black Sea).

Russia Looks to Prisons in Desperate Search for People With IT Skills​

Russia is reviewing what "forced labor" means for prisoners now that the country is facing a serious shortage of people with IT skills.

Waging war on another country and the sanctions that have followed means skilled workers are leaving Russia in droves and local businesses need to find replacements. With vacancies for IT positions numbering the high tens of thousands, Russian prisoners are now being viewed as a new source of potential talent.

As KrebsonSecurity reports, late last month the Russian Federal Penitentiary Service announced it was considering using prisoners for remote IT work at commercial Russian companies. According to Alexander Khabarov, deputy head of Russia’s penitentiary service, the idea was proposed by a number of businessmen in Russia eager to find the staff they needed.

There's thought to be around 95,000 jobs requiring IT skills in Russia that can't be filled. The reason? IT specialists are fleeing the country, with the Russian Association for Electronic Communications (RAEC) estimating up to 100,000 are leaving for new overseas positions in destinations including the US, Germany, Georgia, Cyprus, and Canada.

Imprisoned IT -> IT
And then soon...
IT -> Imprisoned IT

Predictable.

"If on the first day of the war we had been allowed to sign a version of the peace agreement like the one we have now, we would have done it without a second thought. But now the agreement seems too much of a compromise for our side", a member of President Zelenskyy's inner circle shared strictly off the record in a conversation with Ukrainska Pravda.

The moral gap, the gap in values, between Putin and the rest of the world is so huge that even the Kremlin doesn’t have a long enough negotiating table to cover it.

To be honest that just looks like a normal day in Russia. I have watched too many russian road rage compilations to think that this is actually war related. Some russians (not all that would be a generalisation) literally destroy other people's cars and property in russia if they don't have dash cams. Someone probably rammed their car into another car and then one guy decided to take revenge on the shopping mall because it was near the site his car was rammed.
