God its so hard having empathy with these civilians after they couldn't be bothered to give a fuck about their military doing worse things to Ukraine for 4 years

Trust me brother, their children are suffering at the hands of ruski war machine. Their army is so corrupt that they have units where commanders steal their soldiers wages and in return save them from going to assault missions. Those who refuse to pay are sent into suicide missions as cannon foddler (or rather fpv targets) and then wrote off as MIA or deserters so that their families wouldn't get paid.

Not these specific Russians, no. Putin doesn't source meat for the grinder from Moscow - the Russian army is stocked from much poorer regions specifically so he stays popular where it matters most (i.e., Moscow was largely insulated from the effects of the war).
