It is, in military terms, a huge waste of the use of available ammunition in the form of artillery rounds. They are not intended for use in deestroying the use of land and making it unusable for the future, unless the military firing the ammunition is not intending to be around to use the land for agriculture, which is what your interpretation suggests.
On the other hand, that may possibly be the intention of the Russian political and military establishment; to destroy land, residential, civil, cultural, education and health, commercial and industrial infrastructure, which is exactly what they have done. consequently, leaving the Ukrainians with the results of the Russian efforts. That intended outcome would be in line with your argument.

Antonio Alvir, I really like the way that you have condensed a lot of historical and contemporary information into a relatively brief and significant report.
To state the obvious, no country is perfect and no country's actions are perfect. However, there are countries that endeavour to serve their own citizens with honour and also the citizens of other countries in the best ways that they can.
Unfortunately, The Russian political and military establishment and the military forces that they control, seem to have decided on a path that is devisive and destructive, not only for the people of other countries, but also the people of Russia.
One of the most sobering and concerning references, that I have read recently, is on the site:
"Russia under Vladimir Putin" in a paragraph near the end of the article entitled:
"Militarism and wars outside Russian territory"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia_under_Vladimir_Putin
---- "In Andrey Piontkovsky's opinion, Vladimir Putin feels the frustration towards Soviet Union’s defeat in {the} Cold war (which Piontkovsky calls Third world war) and wishes to get a revanche revenge, defeating the West in {a} Fourth world war. In fact, Putin has started this war in 2014 with {the} annexation of Crimea, more specifically since 20 February 2014 – this date is specified in the Medal "For the Return of Crimea".[252] Piontkovsky believes that {the} geopolitical thinking of Putin and his close circle was reflected in the 2018 “Zavtra” magazine article by Alexander Khaldey:[253]
---- "Piontkovsky considers that Putin’s strategical purposes are following:
1) the installation of Russian military and political control under over post-Soviet area {era states and countries} and, perhaps, Central Europe;
2) the discrediting of NATO as unable to protect its members;
3) the entrenching Russia's sphere of interest in Europe through new "Yalta Agreement" with humiliated USA. These goals should be achieved through 3 elements:[255]
Gerasimov doctrine of hybrid war
Patrushev doctrine of nuclear blackmail
Russian traditional despising an {of their} own citizens lives that provides an advantage over “hedonistic West”
---- "The Gerasimov doctrine[256] enunciates wide use of so-called non-linear warfare and reflexive control (propaganda, cyberattacks, diplomatic actions, economic instruments, bribing foreign public officials, etc.); specifically fighting are carried out by special forces and mercenaries under the guise of local partisans. This doctrine declares that non-military tactics are not auxiliary to the use of force but the preferred way to win; that they are, in fact, the actual war.[257] The difference between Gerasimov doctrine and Western views of hybrid conflict is that Russian doctrine combines both low-end, hidden state involvement with high-end, direct, even braggadocio superpower involvement.[258] Russian hybrid warfare conduct aims to create a "hallucinating fog of war" and consistent deception that aims not to paralyze the West's intelligence and anticipatory capabilities, but to alter Western analytical end-results and perceptions of Russia's strategic intentions.[259] The Gerasimov doctrine has been directly applied by Russia in the Russo-Ukrainian War.[260]"
---- "The essence of the Patrushev doctrine boils down to “de-escalation through nuclear escalation”. Russia would cause a direct military conflict against NATO in any region outside Russian territory, for example in the Baltic States, avoiding the use of weapons of mass destruction. At first, Russia would succeed, using an element of surprise, but later a turning point in the war would be achieved to the benefit of NATO. At that time, Russia would threaten to use nuclear weapons, and if the threats do not succeed, Russia would launch a limited nuclear strike on targets in Europe. If the West decide to make a limited nuclear retaliatory strike, then Russia would make a larger nuclear strike on targets in Europe and USA. Kremlin strategists believe that the West would flinch first, giving up to “strong-willed Russia”, and would agree to end the war on Putin’s terms.[261] American response to Russian Patrushev doctrine has been so-called Pompeo doctrine,[262] the major standpoints of which were set out in the 2018 US National Defense Strategy, in which for the first time since the end of the Cold war Russia was designated as a global power and principal opponent of the USA. The 2018 Nuclear Posture Review declared that the key objective of U.S. nuclear policy is to dissuade Russia from its mistaken impression that a first-use of nuclear weapons by Russia in a conflict would de-escalate the conflict with terms favorable to Russia.[263] As in the Cold war times, the Arctic can be the area of potential NATO-Russia conflict.[264]" {End Quote}
---- Russian traditional despising an {of their} own citizens lives seems to have been apparent in the way that Russians have been directed to and have fought in the Russo-Ukraine war
Two other sites of interest and relaevant to past and recent events are:

All words in brackets like this {have been added to the text by me} and also deleted words for clarity by me.

You are absolutely correct. Russia and Putin are acting like the spoilt brats and the bullies in the school-yard.
First, with its enormous landmass and endowment with immense natural resourses, Russia wants to take what belongs, legitimately and by numerous national and internationally recognised agreements, to another country.
Secondly, despite that enormous landmass, within which a satisfactory "buffer-zone" could be established, Russia uses the stated reason for its invasion and WAR against Ukraine, to be that it needs a "buffer-zone" outside its own borders.
This is Big, Bad, Bold, Tough Russia, with the Big, Bad, Bold, Tough, President Poo-tin wanting to hide behind the petti-coats and hang on to the apron strings of its little sister, Ukraine, because its afraid of the Big, Bad, Wolf that is the defensive alliance, NATO. And then, falsely accuses the victim of its malevalent actions and atrocities.
How Absolutely Pathetic !!!!! A Complete Farce and a pack of lies.
If you care to read the following websites, they will give some insight into the world of Poo-tin and his association with the Russian establishement and people, and his stated intentions with regard to other countries in Europe and the world:

Looking at the references in my reply to Ross Tessien comment, directly above, will give some in-sight into how the Poo-tin and the Russian political and military establishment and their armed military forces operate.
From the website: https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/policies/sanctions/restrictive-measures-against-russia-over-ukraine/sanctions-against-russia-explained/
---- "Why has the EU suspended the broadcasting of five Russian outlets?
"The Russian Federation has engaged in a systematic, international campaign of disinformation, information manipulation and distortion of facts in order to enhance its strategy of destabilising both its neighbouring countries and the EU and its member states.
A journalist presents news on television. He has the logo of Russia Today projected on the screen behind him.
"The broadcasting in the EU of five Russian state-owned outlets is suspended - © AFP
To counteract this, the EU has suspended the broadcasting activities in the EU of five Russian state-owned outlets:
Sputnik
Russia Today
Rossiya RTR/RTR Planeta
Rossiya 24/Russia 24
TV Centre International
Russia uses all these state-owned outlets to intentionally spread propaganda and conduct disinformation campaigns, including about its military aggression against Ukraine.
"The restrictions against Sputnik and Russia Today (together with their subsidiaries, such as RT English, RT Germany, RT France and RT Spanish) have been in place since 2 March 2022. The restrictions on the other three entities have been in place as of 4 June 2022.
"They cover all means of transmission and distribution in or directed at the EU member states, including cable, satellite, Internet Protocol TV, platforms, websites and apps.
"In line with the Charter of Fundamental Rights, these measures will not prevent those media outlets and their staff from carrying out activities in the EU other than broadcasting, e.g. research and interviews.
