  105.  @celebrim1  What you say about Kharkiv may be true, but these rules of engagement are specifically aimed at minimalization of damage to non military infrastructure and loss of lives of civilians. And surely you have evidence, that Ukraine government and military did all they could to avoid placing military units in residential areas before all civilians were evacuated, do you? Because vast majority of reports shows otherwise. For example in Mariupol. Also, about that "volunteering" - you simply can't let civilians engage in combat with the enemy army, not even if they volunteer. IHL specifically prohibits this. It's the military job to keep them safe and out of the combat zone. This is obviously not being done on Ukrainian side, but it is done qwuite meticulously on the Russian side, if the are given any chance of doing so. And lastly, present evidence of your "knowledge" about Russians targeting areas with no military targets and the "terror shelling". The evidence should include clear identification of the perpetrators and exclude any possibility of it being another of many Ukrainian provocations and fakes. The Russian UN diplomat Nebenzya already presented evidence of such behavior on Ukrainian side to the UN. And here are some examples, how this rule has been implemented in conflicts: Article 58 of the 1977 Additional Protocol I states that the parties to the conflict shall, to the maximum extent feasible “avoid locating military objectives within or near densely populated areas” Article 3 of the 1996 Israel-Lebanon Ceasefire Understanding states that the two parties commit to ensuring that “civilian populated areas and industrial and electrical installations will not be used as launching grounds for attacks”. Article 11 of the 1956 New Delhi Draft Rules states: “[T]he Parties to the conflict shall, so far as possible, avoid the permanent presence of armed forces, military material, mobile military establishments or installations, in towns or other places with a large civilian population.”
