I can't think of a single war in recent history involving the Russkies that didn't involve at least some level of deliberate killing of civilians. In Georgia I saw photos of regular people chopped up from machine gun fire despite obviously being civilians. Russians videoed themselves burning the American flag and saying "you are next!" In Syria, I saw a video recently of Russian soldiers accusing some random Syrian fellow of either being a deserter of the Syrian army or being a member of ISIS. They worked on his arms and legs with a sledge hammer and cut off his head, cut off his limbs, and then set his body on fire. All of this they filmed. In Chechnya they were doing mass gang rapes of the men, apparently for the objective of breaking them in front of the women. And the troops in Belarus just got done pacifying Kazakhstan with explicit orders to fire on civilian protestors without warning. They flew in from there and landed in Belarus after getting some target practice.
Not the point. Yeah, you have a decent chance of becoming collateral damage if you stick around and get caught out while the Russians and Ukrainians are shooting at each other. But there are ways out, as in heading west, not just the airport and it’s not necessarily a gruesome death sentence if you don’t make it to the airport. People want to compare this to the fall of Afghanistan. No, it’s not safe to remain but this is not Afghanistan and the Russians are not the Taliban doing their duty to allah.
