That anecdote says absolutely nothing about putting civilians unnecessarily in harms way, and it doesn't say anything about reportworthy things, such as patterns of behavior or an atrocity of notable scale. It doesn't even say if that particular soldier was acting according to orders.

I'm aware a of a LOT worse stuff that some individual members of the UA have done somewhere in Ukraine than anything in these reports, but it's all very small scale and nothing that gives an impression that the UA generally speaking would approve of such behavior.

Some soldier somewhere doing something questionable during a war isn't worth the world's attention. If you can't show patterns and you don't have incidents of significant scale in itself, then you have nothing.

Other than a perfect way to muddy the waters over Russia clearly targeting civilians.
