... Do you honestly, sincerely believe that Putin cares if his people die? After everything he's done to show otherwise?
Yeah exactly, remember how American's didn't care about the actions of their government overseas until it came home in the form of the 9/11 attacks, at which point they rose up to demand an end to their government's bad behaviour?
Oh wait, no. They did the exact fucking opposite.
If Ukraine starts bombing them then they sure will have an incentive to do something.
Namely fight against Ukraine
When you bomb someone they blame the people bombing them.
Just ask Netanyahu how well he is getting rid of Hamas by bombing childrens hospitals. Hint: there is more Hamas now.
Support get any more solid in Russia, so leaving Putin to do as he wants with no real consequence to his supporters is not the way out of this. The only way out of this is if Putin is kicked out by force, and the only way for that to happen is for people to get fed up with this. We are already living in the worst case that you portray. Russians think this is a war that was started by NATO.
How well did that work out during World War 2? Oh, wait... all it did was strengthen the country's resolve to fight back. Way to legitimize the war further for Russia's citizens.
