    I see all the comments saying Ukraine targeted non-military entity. But IMO, Russia can get fucked. I am not sure if they shared the data with anyone, or kept it to themselves, but no loss.

      Following that logic, civilians should be fair game because “Russia can get fucked”.

      I disagree wholeheartedly with the idea of collective punishment.

      It’s very easy to turn collective punishment into discrimination and genocide. This solves nothing and only creates more problems.

        I agree but this seems to be an attack on a military contractor, similar to if Russia attacked Lockheed martin. Sure Lockheed does civilian stuff but they actively help the military. I am not sure what the UN says about it, and it certainly isn’t the same as Israel collectively punishing Gaza.

        I suppose everything has nuance
