I’d go with indiscriminate attacks against innocent civilians. Classic terrorist behaviour and another one to add to the list of atrocities and war crimes.

Maximum destruction - destroy the will of the people just like Grozny and Aleppo.

He will pay for this and his other crimes, as will the henchmen who carry out his orders.
Indiscriminate? They pretty much took out multiple power stations, the HQ of the SBU, the cyber warfare office - killing the head of it. Think about 200 missiles struck and I believe the amount killed was 11 people - the day before one car bomb killed 5 civilians on the Kersch bridge (legitimate target by your accounts,)

Can call it whatever you want, but I'd say given the figures it was far from indiscriminate

Blocks of flats, playgrounds and the like.....

The Kersch bridge was a legitimate military target given its the MSR to all Russian forces in the South.

You’re telling me that a playground, a park, residential apartments are also legitimate military targets?

I say again - indiscriminate

A pedestrian bridge, a busy roundabout...

According to the Chapter 8 Article 344 of the Charter of the Armed Forces servicemen are obliged ‘to regularly bath, brush teeth, cut nails, hair and shave clean’.
Technically it means that the facial hair is not allowed. (Doesn't one of those have a beard?)
Meanwhile, the same charter says that ‘mustaches has to be tidy and not to prevent the proper use of individual protective equipment’ meaning a gas mask.
That means the mustaches are allowed when they are tidy.
At the same time Navy has its own Charter and its Article 531 says that ‘the haircut, mustaches and beard of the serviceman has to be tidy’ - meaning the beard is allowed to the sailors and marines.
In real life it mostly depends on a command of the unit. In Far North beards are usually tolerated because they help to avoid frostbites.
If the serviceman has scars on the face or medical conditions preventing shaving the command would most likely allow the beard.
In other units there might be zero tolerance. There are even instances of women reprimanded under Article 344 for unshaved legs".

Mobile phones are not allowed on active service, I believe.
