I know what you mean - but surely we must, after centuries of warfare for whatever reason have learnt a little along the way. Like not targeting civilians; & had Ukraine - very publicly - done that then I think they'd have gained even more sympathy & support than they presently have.
All that's changed are the weapons - ever more vicious, cruel & deadly & the 'reasons'- ever more ridiculously flimsy.
The world's a weird place. And humans are crazy.

The aera is supposed to house russian elites according to the article, so perhaps the people living in there were tied to the govt or military?
Either way it sucks when civilians are killed no matter what side, perhaps zelensky had enough after loosing so many civilians and ordered the strike to send a message?
I just hope it doesn't escalate things, but it appears it was to send a strong message to Russia.
That may have been the reason - but still, I wish they hadn't. So far the moral high ground is indisputably Ukraine's & it would be good to see it remain that way imo.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
