I think it’s important to note that Russia, the State, uses the Crimean bridge just as often as the local Russian People, possibly even more so due to the current situation. I would be extremely surprised if an ordinary citizen didn’t have to go through at least 1 security checkpoint to get anywhere close to that bridge. Whereas a residential building is…well, just that: a place where ordinary people live their ordinary lives. Ukraine “does not get a pass just because they are the ones who have been invaded.” Ukraine gets a pass because they are not actively aiming at civilian targets.

Ukraine is making the war more difficult for themselves to avoid wasting innocent lives; Russia doesn’t value their own innocents, much less those on the other side of the border
