The fact they’re targeting areas hundreds of miles away with precision cruise missiles belies their targeting intentions. Compare and contrast with UKR use of PGMs hitting Russian ammo dumps, command posts and transportation links. Civilians are not the UKR’s targets. Whereas they are specifically the Russians’ targets. Bucha writ large for the world to see.
When ATACMSs start obliterating Moscow’s C&C centers maybe then there will be a change in Russia’s strategic thinking and targeting priorities. Until then the Street-Thug-at Large will continue to attack the weak and helpless.
Yeah, all of the recent videos of civilian casualties coming out of Donetsk would disagree with you there. (Two examples in this thread here.)
Plus the last 8 years or so of hostilities between Ukraine and the DPR/LPR separatists where civilians got caught in the crossfire.
I don't mind people pointing out examples of Russians attacking pure civilian targets (which turn out to be such, and not just another example where Ukrainian military personnel were holing up in civilian areas again) if they're also willing to point out where Ukraine is also doing the same.
Neither side is sinless or holy, which is why we should stay out of it.
