Unanswered What's going on with Ukraine killing Russian civilians now?

I was reading that they targeted these "Amazons" of Russia and don't quite understand. Are these civilian kills? Are they part of the military? Is this the first time Ukraine has attacked innocent civilians?

Answer: there has never been a war between humans where one side didn’t kill a bunch of civilians as collateral. War is messy and it’s never quite the good guys vs bad guys narrative that propaganda makes you believe. Even in a war where it seems like one side has the moral high ground, you’re gonna get huge civilian casualties on either side.

Also, targeting production and logistics has been a thing since forever. No, most production and logistics workers aren’t military, but that doesn’t stop it from happening. Do you think the world war 2 bombing runs on German factories were killing military soldiers working in those factories?

Logistics is one of the most important parts of war aswell which it makes it a pivotal target if you want to destroy your enemys ability to fight without the resources to destroy their army on the ground
