There were significant civilian casualties right from the start of the war in Ukraine, and several massacred villages.

Russian air defense shot down a civilian airliner mostly full of Dutch nationals and the response was just condemnation and tweaking the sanctions a bit.

My heartfelt sympathy to the MH17 victims and families, but the airplane was flying in the risky warzone. That does not discount the fact that it's an atrocious act by the Russian backed military.

However, to send missile to primary school killing hundreds of school girls on the very first day of the war, if intentionally is just pure evil.
