If Russia stopped bombing places with "children" written on them, Ukraine would just write "children" on important places that they didn't want to be bombed.

It was a f*king theater, and a known shelter. And no, they would not. IIRC disguising military locations as civilian, or using civilians as human shields is itself a war crime. The Ukranians are not doing that. What's your excuse for the maternity hospital? Firing on civilians in a prearranged exit route/cease-fire? Cluster-bombing civilian areas? I could go on for pages and pages, and the War Crimes case is already starting, and being substantiated up to the level that the POTUS and SecState are specifically speaking of Putin as a "War Criminal". Thanks for demonstrating my point about the how otherwise intelligent people can still have insane levels of self-absorbed myopia and inability to understand moral issues, and lack of perspective. You need a serious rethink. Yikes

Ukraine publicizing Russian prisoners of war is a violation of the Geneva Conventions (<https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/03/16/ukraine-respect-rights-prisoners-war https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/03/16/ukraine-respect-rights-p...>), yet that keeps occurring. Your being so certain that, if Russia did not fire on locations marked as being filled with "children", that Ukraine would never ever put soldiers in them, may be misplaced.

    It's not about never ever, it's about bad behaviour not being normalized. This far from the first time that this kind of deliberate violation has been done by Russia. Also, the doxxing of prisoners, while bad, is on a whole different level than these.
