The fact that so many are talking about the strike on a military event in Sumy, held in a civilian district, which tragically killed several innocent civilians, tells us several things.
Firstly, the deaths of Ukrainian civilians in Russian military actions are still essentially unusual and, therefore, highly "newsworthy" to the Western propaganda media and their client political cabal.
Secondly, if Russia was "targeting" Ukrainain civillians, tens of thousands of Ukrainain civillians would be dying every week.
Russia doesn't need to use expensive balistic missiles to strike civillians. It has one of the largest artillery / missile/ MLRS armies on earth, much of which in operatiomal range of large Ukrainain population centres. Russia could easily and rapidly vaporise entire settlements, towns, and even cities, with their occupants in situ, if it was indeed "Targetting Civillians"
Those suggesting that Russia is engaged in strikes willfully targetting innocent covilliams should take a look at Gaza city.
That is what Kiev, Kharkov, Kherson, and many other large cities in Ukraine would look like today if Russia was, as alleged "targetting civillians"
These cities stand in perfect order, and daily life continues to a great degree. The tragic loss of lives in Sumy occurred because the Ukrainian military leadership decided to gather hundreds of top military officials for an "awards" ceremony in a civilian location. The Russians struck this event. An event senior Ukrainain officials had widely publicised on social media, the men being "awarded" had taken part in operations inside Russia, where hundreds of Russian civillians have been brutally tortured and murdered in their own homes.
The number of military dead is, as usual, being kept from public view by Kiev. Another convenient manipulation of the tragic reality of this war. Vehicles bearing the strategic triangle sign use in Ukrainain invasion operations in Kursk were seen burning at the scene. Military obituaries are now slowly being published, including a senior artillery officer killed in the strike.
