They do target civilians, yes. I’ve seen people try to downplay this, but the explanations are indistinguishable from apologia for how the US dehumanizes people’s deaths as “collateral damage” or “combatant deaths”. If anyone wants to tell me about how Azov is hiding amongst civilians, yeah no shit. That doesn’t mean the people around them are guilty by proximity.

It's literally the explanation Israel offers when it targets civilians.

The difference is that the Gaza Strip is an open-air prison the size of a few city blocks. Ukrainians have a whole country to hide in.
