This is the reason why I personally, have a problem with Russia being involved.
Governments have a moral and humanitarian responsibility to minimise damage to property and death of civilians, regardless of whether they're a member of the UN. The refugee crisis is significant already, it will get a whole lot worse when Russia's contribution to the Operation gets in to the full swing. IMHO.
