Ive been seeing a lot of reports on Ukranian drones targeting Civilians in Russia, Donestk, Crimea, LPR, and DPR. Is Russia targeting Civilians in Ukraine as well? I mostly hear about their missiles striking cities but I'm not sure if they actually have a drone network like Ukraine. Or if they are unapologetically targeting Civilians like Ukraine seems to be doing.

It's normal in war to expect civilian causalities but how frequent we see it occurring really feels like its pointless death for the sake of numbers. Like we know from tons of previous conflicts that striking the civilians just makes them more aggressive against the system that is striking them

Another thing others haven't noted is that Russian missile and drone attacks in non-contested cities are mostly carried out at night at somewhat regular times. This means that the likelihood of collateral civilian deaths in factories and power plants is much lower. This is not necessarily the case in cities with ground troops fighting, and in those they tend to use the heavily destructive FAB glide bombs against Ukrainian soldier positions, which may include residential areas.
