You really shouldn't uncritically accept anything Ukraine or Russia says about the war. Of course they're going to say the other side is targeting civilians while we only attack valid military targets. Don't you remember Libya? Iraq? Afghanistan? Bosnia? We know how the news operates in these situations.
