    So once war starts there is nowhere to flee because Russia will need to bombard all the civilian infrastructure first?

    I don’t have a better suggestion but it sounds kind of off.

      Russia bombards all the civilian infra immediately anyways, because it creates a crisis that the defenders have to manage. It’s better to have a your defensive forces close to your civilian populace, than having to fly over to them once the attack has already started.

      Remember, day 1 of the current Russian invasion, they tried to seize Kyiv airport, to bring in transport planes. The civilian airports are strategic targets even without any military presence.
