“They are shelling the city of Donetsk and other places in the Donbass and hitting civilian targets like schools and hospitals and killing civilians including children. Just like the Russians have been doing to Ukrainian cities.”
No, not “just like the Russians have been doing”. The Russians are not deliberately targeting schools and hospitals in acts of terror as the Ukrainians are doing. When the Russians target such buildings it is because Ukrainian soldiers have taken up firing positions there as even regime change front group Amnesty International has admitted.
“Ukrainian forces have put civilians in harm’s way by establishing bases and operating weapons systems in populated residential areas, including in schools and hospitals, as they repelled the Russian invasion”
Like it or not, such buildings become legitimate targets if occupied by military forces.
