Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has warned that it was “inevitable” that “war” would come to Russia after authorities there were forced to temporarily close a busy Moscow airport following an overnight drone attack on the capital.

      How is this relevant?

      A: But really there’s no reason whatsoever to put restrictions on the smaller weaker country who is being invaded. War is hell.

      B: I think there are good reasons to impose the restriction of the Geneva convention on Ukraine, even if is being invaded.

      It’s an abstract consideration of the moral legitimacy of an invaded country to act without any restriction (according to OC) or not (according to me). Whether it did break or not the rules of Geneva convention is a completely separate debate. Here the topic is: is it reasonable or not to expect Ukraine, as invaded country, to act within the limits of the Geneva convention?
