Tankies and shifting framing, name a more iconic duo. Yeah, there’s always collateral in war. What Russia is doing is deliberately targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure. The “genocide” in donbas that Russia was supposedly preventing had a total civilian death count of about 3,400 across ~8 years of conflict. The current war has led to nearly 33,000 confirmed civilian deaths so far, meaning that is the absolute floor and the real number is higher.
