From what I've seen they don't target civilians and Ukraine uses civilian infrastructure to hide troops and military equipment.

A simple psychological profile of the belligerents makes it clear which side would be likely or motivated to kill civilians.

Russia's POV: "The Donbas is only legally part of Ukraine by an accident of history. Its people are our brethren. They've suffered long enough under the Kiev regime."

Ukraine's^[Specifically, the ardent nationalists who run the AFU] POV: "Greater Ukraine must be cleansed of the Orcs^["Orcs" includes Russian Ukrainians, the natives of the Donbas]! Slava Ukraini!"
