A terrorist country, like Russia, will absolutely target civilian hospitals and civilian infrastructure. Children’s hospitals are prime targets, all the more to strike terror on the fathers and mothers who want to protect their kids, and might even want their country to surrender in order to stop the killing. Terrorists don’t care and will do anything and everything to get their way. Putin is a terrorist in the highest degree, and Al-Qaeda and ISIS are amateurs in comparison.

Yup, in the Syrian War, Doctors Without Borders stopped giving the Russians the gps locations of their hospitals in rebel controlled areas, after the Russians deliberately targeted them.

MSF stops sharing Syria hospital locations after 'deliberate' attacks - Feb 2016

Médecins Sans Frontières believes giving GPS coordinates of its facilities to Assad and Russian forces increases chance of direct targeting

Hospitals in opposition-held parts of Syria are refusing to share GPS coordinates with Russian and Syrian authorities because of repeated attacks on medical facilities and workers, Médecins Sans Frontières and humanitarian workers on the ground have said.

International charity MSF said it took the decision not to formally inform Syria’s government or its Russian allies about the location of some medical facilities, such as the one hit by a deadly airstrike this week, amid concerns that doing so could make them targets.

Joanne Liu, MSF International president, told reporters in Geneva that deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructures were routine. “Healthcare in Syria is in the crosshair of bombs and missiles. It has collapsed,” Liu said. “Let me be clear: attacks on civilians and hospitals must stop. The normalisation of such attacks is intolerable.”
