I still shed a tear, even for the Russian soldiers.
The poor Russian soldier who was killed had his text messages (to his mom in Russia) read out to the UN. He didn't know why they were attacking Ukraine, is "only following orders" kinda setup. He was flabbergasted at how much the Ukrainians were angry at him.
And then he died in battle.

That doesn't mean that Ukraine should stop attacking the Russian soldiers. It is clear that they are being forced into this as much as everyone else. If Russia simply pulls back their troops to the Russian border, then this war is over. But as long as they're in Ukraine, the world has to use every means necessary to try to help the Ukrainians out.
Even if it means killing Russian soldiers. I don't think they "deserve" to die, but what choice does Ukraine have?
