There's a school of thought that the more Ukrainians Putin kills, the more his popularity suffers. Dead children have a lot of value in isolating him and possibly provoking a no fly zone. As General Barrons said on Newsnight "if you think back to Bosnia in the 1990s, it wasn't the governments that decided something had to be done, it was public opinion asserting they couldn't put up with this on their television screens every night." So the no fly zone starts, then Russian planes fight British/French/American planes, pilots die, and it's all seen by the Russian public. Maybe then they take to the streets in sufficient numbers to get Putin replaced.
