Granted this will always happen and should happen, I just don’t think it should be given press coverage.
As far as Putin is concerned they are already "legitimate targets". The Ukrainians are standing solidly together against the Russian invaders. What would you and your family do in similar circumstances, what would they have done if the Germans had invaded the UK in 1940? I know what I and my family would would do and did in WW2.
