  Because it could bring about a world war, or at least that's what I was told when asked the same question.
context: Officials, in the West and in Ukraine, had begun to wonder if Russia's "energy war" might be coming to an end, due to a possible shortage of suitable missiles and the evident fact the strategy has yet to break Ukraine's spirit.
  
  If there is one thing Russia has shown us, it is a stubborn willingness to commit to bad strategy at the expense of victory. >
  
  Could they really be victorious with good strategy at this point?  They basically lost this war in the first few weeks >
  
  Yeah. If they couldn't win when they had surprise, morale, and their military at its best and most trained while Ukraine didn't have much western equipment yet I don't see why anyone (including Russia) would think they could win now. 
  Ukraine now has a lot of western equipment and training. 1st Howitzers, then HIMARS, and now they are getting tanks. Ukraine is only getting stronger, better equipment, and better weapon systems. 
  It should be simple to see the outcome of this war with anyone who isn't completely blinded by bias. >

  might not be bias, if Putin is forced to admit defeat and lose Crimea hed probably be the next guy falling out a window, the only thing he can do is keep the war going to appear strong and pray that attrition favours russia >
  
  Russia truly losing this war in the official sense would cause another revolutionary wave - even if definitely much smaller.
  Belarus, Hungary, Iran, Serbia, and North Korea would lose a major ally or even direct sponsor.
  The right wing wave would lose C3 and even a source of cash (so C4? lol). >

  "And hits energy infrastructure."
  Of course they're hitting energy infrastructure because that is what they're aiming for.
  It is deliberate attempt to demoralize people of Ukraine because Russia does not have professional army and are relying largely on Wagner mercenaries and untrained conscripts. >
  
  They are doing the Zapp Brannigan strategy of sending wave after wave of man until the Ukraine trenches that they are attacking runs out of ammo. 
  Sadly seems to be working for right now. Ukraine needs bigger guns. >
  
  russia is a terrorist state, full stop >
  
  Why won't anyone bomb Moscow's energy infrastructure? Sometimes the bully needs to be bullied.
