Just imagine being in a foreign country, where pretty much everybody can be a partisan, hence nobody can be trusted - including your own fed up "army", that partially consists of convicts, some drunks, lots of undisciplined soldiers, some more or less forcefully recruited troops from DPR/LPR and elsewhere, some disobedient mercenaries willing to leave if not paid, disinterested street-snatched mobiks (and other shadow-recruited individuals), etc, who're not trained in working together as one "army" at all and often fight with each other instead - and then this unpredictable conglomerate of people is tied down in a scorched earth region for months, surrounded by their decomposing dead; this can only be demoralizing for Russians who're used to having such a big country that most of them don't even know where their borders are, let alone why or what they're fighting for and why they're there in the 1st place.
That lack of purpose and all these months spent in ruins for nothing with no end in sight has to be soul crushing (no matter how good their propaganda is) and at some point every Russian's starting to blame Putin, Shoigu, Gerasimov, Prigozhin, their commanders, their oligarchs and wealthy, etc, way more than the Ukrainian people defending their lives and homes.

I'm super-angry about the assassination of the Azovstal heroes/POW!
Call it my own "negative mindset" saving me from all sorts of earthly disappointments, however admittedly I've never expected the more resilient unwavering brave and/or publicly known Azovstal soldiers would ever make it to a POW exchange ALIVE anyways...
Although this is a complete tabu topic, I always personally struggled with them becoming Russian POW, when there isn't even a war in Russian brains ... oh I mean, of course I mean in Russian official language and legal understanding.
There's likely a huge war going on inside Russian brains, between common sense/logic/etc vs reality, but that's another topic.
Every time I communicate/text with Russians I get this "they are coming from a parallel universe" feeling ... bc it's true!
My Hungarian dad told me, how different history and school education in general were for him - EVERYTHING was invented in Russia (basically they invented life itself) - and EVERYTHING was stolen from them or "sold way to the west"; talk about being the "main race" on this planet and being megalomaniac!
& Btw "sold away" by whom ... Russians themselves?
(I remember texting about this topic with alleged Russians a lot, they always forget to mention, WHO "sold them out", whatever...).
... If this'd be me in that situation and I'm facing the FSB and their well-known sophisticated torture methods, when becoming a Russian POW, I'd certainly safe the last bullet for myself!
We all know there're fates worse than death.

Oh boy, this question will get my comment dฤlฤted for sure, bc this always happens when I try to post links or recommend channels for some unknown reason ... I mean the Ukrainian pilot Denys* (= his first name), check him out, he always says at the end of his videos for months now:
"I wish you all A PEACEFUL SKY wherever you are!"
* 2nd name Davydov
This'll for sure open your eyes, how cruel Lukashenka's quote truly was, bc the missiles that killed 22+ people in Ukraine on their Independence Day came directly from Belarus.
& Many people including myself theorize, Lukashenka mocked the Ukrainian YouTuber with it, if this isn't a huge unexplainable very strange coincidence I don't really believe in tbh ... everybody was electrified in outrage, after hearing Lukashenka say he wishes Ukraine "a peaceful sky" and a few hours later missiles hit civilians at a railroad station (again). ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
Please let me know, if you got this reply and understand it.
You've to put both names in this order into the YouTube search bar.

ALL 3 OF YOU ARE RIGHT, historically "scorched earth" has usually been the defender's choice, but I had only thought about "scorched earth" in connection with this war and tbh I had neglected to look deeper into the historical context of it.
& It's always been strange to me, WHY an attacker would choose to totally destroy the country they wanna occupy, bc there's nothing left to conquer except maybe some resources - but most (if not all) infrastructure to extract and process said resources are also damaged or gone - wouldn't an attacker try to preserve as much of the occupied land as possible?
(Nope, just look at Russia's villages, rural areas, etc, they don't give af about their own land).
& I so came to the conclusion, there're several reasons for Russia to do this:
1*) To terrorize, spread fear and horror amongst the population.
2*) To intentionally wreck the country, they can't occupy or hold, not just "bc they can" and do it for revenge, but also to damage and ruin Ukraine's economy.
3*) To very cheaply rebuild the factories and settlements for optical purposes, bomb them afterwards themselves, then they claim "omg, those bad Ukrainians", (which btw also fits their propaganda narrative perfectly, like e.g. "8 years of dombing Bombas",*) and to steal the millions of Rubles cash they allegedly had spent rebuilding.**
