In the case of the death of civilians on the beach of Sevastopol, one more important point should be taken into account. International law, it turns out, does not protect Russian civilians if they are in the occupied territory of Ukraine - in Crimea, Donbass or in other Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine.

The only document protecting the rights of citizens during war is the Geneva Convention of 1949, which also regulates the protection of citizens in occupied territories. According to this convention, citizens of all countries except the aggressor country are protected. That is, Russian citizens are not protected by international conventions while in Crimea.

This is why the Ukrainian army has the right to destroy Russian civilians in Crimea without taking into account their interests. For example, if there are 100 Russian citizens and one military man on the beach, the Ukrainian military has the right to launch missile attacks there.

Ukraine has long warned Russian citizens not to come to the occupied territory of Ukraine, because fighting is taking place almost everywhere there. If Russia encourages their arrival, then it is Russia that is responsible for their safety and their death from hostilities.
