      Fuel refineries are legitimate military targets. You’re getting confused between fuel refineries and schools, Russia often makes that mistake. They look so similar.

          Lol.

          Bridges also are, right? And civilian factories producing electronics, that the military happens to use, right? What is allowed to be targeted?

          Maybe the Russian people should do something to ensure they stop being attacked. It’s all on them, not the defenders. Meanwhile, Russia is striking apartment buildings.

              That’s all? You aren’t allowed to attack logistics? Logistics are how you wage war. There has literally never been a war ever that didn’t target logistics. You’re saying the defenders should be restricted to only targeting military bases, while the invader is attacking civilian housing?

          Clean civilians as a war crime. I’m not sure how many civilians on the regular take a wander through an oil refinery.

            Killing civilians is another war crime. There’s a lot: bombing civilian infrastructure, killing civilians, collective punishment, moving civilians into militarily occupied lands, killing PoWs, etc

          From your linked article:

          Russia’s call for an emergency meeting despite its own attacks on Ukrainian civilians was also questioned by several nations.

          Pretty much every nation in war commits war crimes. I would seriously struggle to find a country or entity that didn’t… People don’t just have the soldiers line up nicely and shoot at each other until one side surrenders.

          Pretty rarely do countries get investigated or convicted for war crimes… The worst like the US and Israel just ignore it either way.
