Not directly. Civilian deaths are relatively low. Unfortunately, some get caught up in it, but this is the nature of the conflict. Russia views Ukrainian people as brothers; this is obvious; otherwise, they would have razed their major cities to the ground. I don't see Russian troops using Ukrainian civilians as human shields, like the Azov in Mariupol, as per their nato training. Btw, have you seen Mariupol lately? It︀ is no longer in the news for some reason...
Remember, this was avoidable if the︁ US has listened to Russia for the last 15 years. There have been hundreds of︂ attempts at diplomacy, the last being in December with the new European Security Framework.
There was also a peace deal brokered during this conflict, but Boris Johnson was instructed to︃ go to Kiev and scupper it.
And the USA are directly responsible for this proxy︄ war, so you are correct it is impossible not to mention them. They are knee-deep︅ in Ukraine.
