"(Russia) wants permission from Ukraine to hold their parade, so they can safely march onto the square for one hour once a year, and then go back to killing our people and waging war again," President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
Terror bombing civilians is a losing strategy for sure, but I do think a demonstration that your enemy is less all powerful than they claim by hitting a high profile military parade is different to that.
It’s a risky gamble. If you manage to get anything dropped on the people there, I think that should show the enemy’s vulnerable air defenses plenty enough.
I agree; I’m just saying it would be a gamble (as opposed to targeting civilians, which would be quite unambiguously bad, as just about any instance since the Nazis bombing Britain and the allies bombing Germany should have shown).

Sure, I have no idea if it actually is a good idea for them to try. Just that it wouldnt be the same as deliberately targeting civilians.
