    It was literally an attack on a civilian center of a civilian city while ceasefire was being floated as a possibility.

        They don’t actually, because Russia didn’t attack civilian centers far beyond the front lines of combat. The attack on Belgorod was not part of a Ukrainian counter offensive. It was retaliatory collective punishment of civilians. Which is unsurprising for Ukraine given the way they’ve been killing ethnic Russians in the Donbas since 2014. They’re all about killing civilians for cruelty,
