@mantas6540 Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions, Article 52, provides for the general protection of civilian objects, hindering attacks to military objectives in a war between two or more belligerents. Article 52 states, "In so far as objects are concerned, military objectives are limited to those objects which by their nature, location, purpose or use make an effective contribution to military action and whose total or partial destruction, capture or neutralization, in the circumstances ruling at the time, offers a definite military advantage."
So a bridge is by definition a military target, a pizza party isn't. Got it? The bridge itself was illegally constructed on illegally occupied land, the Ukrainians warned multiple times that they were going to attack the bridge. Any civilian casualties are unfortunate but if you are a civilian and want to avoid becoming a casualty you should avoid illegally occupied territory. Particularly targets that the defenders have already stated they would destroy.
