Russia started a war of aggression. A lot of Russians support the war. These civilians live and work in a refinery town that supports the Russian war machine (with oil and gas products).
The people who work in weapons manufacturing are also civilians even though they are definitely legitimate targets by the laws of war (while at work, anyway).
Collateral damage from the destruction of legitimate targets is a murkier issue, but generally considered acceptable as long as it’s not deliberately exacerbated.

Which gets back to people being okay with them (civilians) getting killed and not at all leopards eating face worthy.
They support Putin. They support Russian imperialism. They have for a long time. Enough said!
So it’s okay to kill civilians. Got it!
