In watching the video below it is demonstrated the soldiers know exactly what they are doing. There are no mistakes. The soldiers are well trained.
They use RPGs to drive any opposition back. Once that is done to their satisfaction, they look for opportunity to move forward with rifles to clean up what the RPGs didn't kill. Then the soldiers just move on to the next row of homes or another village. I looks as though they are taking villages a street at a time. Block by block.
There is a reason Putin pulled it's navy from Syria. He had made other plans. He knew NATO would not simply allow Russia to march across the former Soviet states. He needed to intimidate Europe.
The sanctions matter, but, if the allegations of genocide prove out, then Putin and his military already has a price on their heads. Life is more important than money.
