It's not any "blunder", it was a deliberate mass murder.
As deliberate as them shooting people in the back of the head and leaving their bodies in houses and streets, or burying them in shallow mass graves, which they also do.
The very same thing, just from the air.
And not an isolated incident.
You for some bizarre reason think they care about "Russians / Russian speakers", but Russia is now so hated in Kharkiv for a reason.
It's like you don't remember what they have done to the Russians in Grozny. Or maybe you just don't know.
At the end of 1994, Grozny was still (and perhaps rather again, as most of the Chechens have taken shelter in the countryside with their families) majority Russian.
There are probably no longer any Russians in Grozny. (Something like a decade ago there were still less than 100.)
Do you know what happened there?
It's not a fucking secret.
