I'm not sure continuation of a previously conceived plan counts as "fresh threats" of using nuclear weapons....

Zalushny is apparently in a coma in Kiev after being injured in Russian attack and hasn't been seen for days, even missed a NATO video conference, so there is no military leadership.
The new game changer is the promised F16.

Doesn't look like deliberate targeting non combatants to me. Unless they all started living in warehouses.

What about the early days of the war, when Ukraine hadn't yet received the advanced western SAMs that are now doing the shooting down?
All those drones reached their targets then, shopping centres, hospitals, apartments, public markets etc, were deliberately targeted at civilians.
If they weren't, then either the Russians have virtually no control of their guided munitions(doubtful), or they were just lobbing them randomly into urban concentrations.

Good lord do you even read these links you keep posting. It said 2 people killed from falling debris and warehouse fire started from falling drone debris. Where does it say they are deliberately targeting civilians?

Do your own research. They've had S300 systems for some time. The famous missile in the residential building in Kiev was their own missile , just like the polish farmers killed on their tractors was a S300 missile fired by Ukraine.

Actually I do. BUT, perhaps if you bothered to scroll down and watched the video you would have understood what it was about. So, practice what you preach.
Try again.

Dr Ochab's article shows that Russian "society" is so morally corrupt and brutalising, it's producing the ordinary people who are capable of these mass atrocities.
This has been going on since day one.
It's not emotionally damaged veterans suffering PTSD. From day one, ordinary conscripted soldiers were killing civilians at random.
