One incident when a Separatist battery hit a Ukrainian unit in a village. It was undeniably wrong, and the fact civilians were injured and civilian property damaged is a crime; nevertheless, how can that one incident even be compared to the months-long, day-and-night bombardment of the city of Lugansk (once home to half a million people) a bombardment in which hundreds have been killed and thousands wounded?
Shall we get back to the topic of the OP then?

Why bother, my comments would disappear into the mass Russia-bashing OPs?
