Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has warned that it was “inevitable” that “war” would come to Russia after authorities there were forced to temporarily close a busy Moscow airport following an overnight drone attack on the capital.

Hitting military targets (as per Ukraine, offices of state institutions) in the night when noone is there is “attacking civilians”, now? If you want to attack civilians, you don’t attack places where they’re not.
You know what’s attacking civilians? Throwing cruise missiles at apartment blocks in the night, and shopping centres in the middle of the day, as Russia is doing.
The video shows an attack in the middle of a city, or are you trying to convince me that everybody on the street was military related? Also, i don’t trust at all any source from Russia nor Ukraine. War is half about fighting and half about propaganda.Or have people already forgotten all the bullshit both governments have told? I got ultra downvoted back in Reddit for telling the Ghost of Kyiv was a propaganda exercise, and as it turns out…
What part of “office building, at night” did you not understand?
And, no, it is not a requirement under international law to make sure that no civilians get hit. If grandma brings grandson a cake to base and the base gets blown up she’s collateral damage, what matters here is that the target was military and that reasonable precautions have been taken to spare civilians – in this case, to do it at night.
Otherwise, if you’d say “you can’t ever attack within a city” everyone would have their military HQs etc. dispersed throughout residential areas and, consequently, nobody would be willing to spare civilians. Is that what you want?
If anything you should be complaining about Russia (attempting to) use civilians as shields by dispersing their operations exactly like that.
