Yeah I got that, I'm asking if you mean to say that Russia isn't killing civilians?

Then you don’t know the last eighty years of US atrocities worldwide, starting from the nuclear bombing of two heavily populated cities with no warning and ending with aiding & abetting an ongoing genocide in Palestine.
