Does Russia get points for telling Ukrainians to leave before they started shelling? Invaders more often than not, tell civilians to flee (least of the reasons is to inflict economic disruption to their adversary).
One side has the vast majority of resources, the other is a refugee in their own home.
Analysis isn’t justification. For example, the book “Lord of the Flies” doesn’t try to justify the terrible nature of kids but serves as a warning when you have an incredibly young society without moral leadership. And that’s about where we’re at with this situation.

So for you being a “refugee in their own home” makes it ok to deliberately murder civiluans, women and children, rape and abduct?
