I am surprised there are not many, many roof top Ukranians with scoped Barrett rifles.

Hell, an old 1903 Springfield .30-06 can reach out and touch someone just fine (granted, though, not to the extent a .50 cal Barrett can). However, I posit that far more people can handle the Springfield better than they can the Barrett, and thus the chances of successful kills is greater, especially if there are more shooters. Just my $.02.
I did see, a couple weeks ago, at least one air cargo pallet of 50 M2 ammo being delivered. The UKes wouldn’t normally use 50 cal so maybe there were, indeed, a few crates of Barretts in the mix? And you wouldn’t be seeing those roof top guys anyway. That’s not how we do it.
There's a reason the Russians are no longer allowing civilians to evacuate. Presumably, they would be forced to occupy the buildings that these rooftop snipers would fire from and discourage such activity.
