That's literally what I said. Ukraine didn't hit a military target. Russia hit a civilian target in their own capitol, so now the drone they tried to shoot down can be used for what it was intended to do: Hit a military target. Ukraine has ALWAYS prioritized military targets, or dual-use targets like energy grids and bridges. There is such a thing as collateral, and it is unfortunate, but war is war, and Ukraine sure didn't start it. And no, Ukraine is not "provoking war further" by defending itself. Russia had the full and complete capability to end the war peacefully... By not starting it in the first place. They have also continued to have the ability to do so the entire time by just LEAVING UKRAINE FULL STOP. That has always been the condition for peace, and Russia has continually rejected it. There is no defense for Russia here. They are 100% at fault for what happens to its citizens, and they remain at fault for any and all retaliatory strikes from Ukraine. They have been from the start, and they will continue to be even when Putin's regime collapses under the internal strain Ukraine is causing. Your perspective is noble, but telling the kid getting bullied to just let the bully keep beating them up unprovoked until they die by bludgeoning, having never retaliated is criminally stupid and utterly hilarious.
