The Washington Post ran an article chastising the Ukrainian government in Kiev for firing heavy weaponry next to occupied apartment complexes. The article begins by citing Ukrainian MP Oleksii Goncharenko as saying Russia hit an apartment complex in Kiev for no reason other than to kill civilians. WaPo states that a GRAD launcher was parked near the complex and firing rockets.

The article states that while it is true that Russian strikes are killing Ukrainian civilians, the tactics used by Ukraine are not doing civilians any favors. WaPo quotes experts who say it will be hard to prosecute any Russians for war crimes if they are charged with killing civilians when heavy equipment is present.
