Oh, sorry, thermal power plants were not only working for military factories, the same is true now.
The energy capacities of Ukraine are not only working for residential quarters. There are common rules of warfare.
To win a war, one needs to fight according to common rules that have long been established in history. No one is saying that one should turn into Israel, destroying residential quarters. That's genocide. We don't engage in genocide, especially not of the Ukrainian population, whom we consider as our own, as the president said. One people.
But destroying infrastructure objects, weakening the army, depriving, shutting down Ukrainian internal transportation routes. And, consequently, complicating logistics on the front and breaking through the front - these are once again common rules, canons of warfare formed over decades, centuries. That's how wars are always fought.
