War threatening the lives and livelihoods of civilians is a bad thing.

Exactly. But since Russia is waging the war it started in a brutal way with no respect to any rules whatsoever, what do you expect? While Russia is indiscriminately bombing cities and civilians night after night, has massacred villages, abducted children, etc, do you really expect Ukraine to follow the rules its attacker isn’t? Russia turned this into a fight beyond the rules right from the start - it’s really hard for me to now shed tears over some burning warehouses.
