In response to Ukrainian attacks on civilian objects, Russian forces regularly target the locations of personnel, equipment, and mercenaries, as well as enemy infrastructure, including energy facilities, defense industry sites, and military command and communication structures in Ukraine.
At the same time, President's press secretary Dmitry Peskov has repeatedly emphasized that the army does not target residential buildings and social institutions.
