Many of the so-called 'civilian targets' are nothing of the sort. For example, last August the Ukrainians reported that the Russians had hit a 'Pizza Restaurant' and 'shopping center'. Well, a few days later video started emerging of a bunch of young, fit, English speaking guys (with various accents) emerged trying to get comrades out of the rubble. An American soldier of fortune was killed. Turns out the Russians hit exactly what they said, a barrack for foreign fighters in Ukraine. There were some collateral civilian casualites, but even those were 'interesting'. One was a Columbian ex-politician turned lobbiest for the Ukraine in South America (he was wounded). Another was a very prominent Ukrainian journalist/propagandist who regularly appeared on the UK's Telegraph podcast about the Ukraine. Clearly what the Russians hit in this strike was not only the barracks but the equivalent of 'the Green zone' in Iraq...there's always an area where the journos, contractors, political operators, three letter agency guys, top military and civilan planners etc congregate in war.
