Most importantly - Russia is NOT only targeting military facilities. They also:
- shelled a church ([3])
- targeted residential buildings in Kharkiv and many other places ([4], [5])
- are shooting at civilians ([6])
The Russian invasion on Ukraine has nothing to do with removing any threats to any one. The Russian government and anyone supporting it IS the threat to democracy, freedom and human rights.

From what I've seen only Al Jazeera tries to be impartial (telling both sides if the story, and not forgetting "we were unable to independently verify").
> or pretty much forcing people to go to Russia/Belarus by only allowing corridors in that direction ([2]).
Theres another possibility. After 3 days of mutually agreed corridors not being respected (by ukr) Russians offered the alternative route they can guarantee. Obviously it's much easier for them to create a corridor to the border rather than further inside ukraine.
If you are talking about corridors not being respected by Ukraine, then it's time to provide some source to support what you are saying.
If you believe in good will and justified behavior from Russian side, then I believe you really should make an effort to understand what is happening better.

That's what the Russians are literally saying. Al Jazeera at least reports both sides' statements

Moreover, Al Jazeera link you provided doesn't really speak to Ukraine "blocking" anything - they called Russia's move immoral, which is totally fair. It is immortal to force people to choose between running to "safety" - their invaders - or waiting for death in the war zone.
The rest of the article is just proving everything I said above, i.e.:
