Just as one example as there are numerous others - October 3rd, 2015 US Air Force AC-130U gunship struck a trauma hospital in Kunduz in Northern Afghanistan, killing 42 and injuring 30 others.
I wouldn't think Russian politicians called for hospitals and Ukrainian schools to be hit, but that's just not how war works. Certainly, US politicians weren't calling for an Afghan hospital to be struck with missile fire.

Russia is admitting to intentionally attacking the hospital.
Their claim is that the hospital was long abandoned by patients and has been used by the Ukrainian military. Ukraine says the hospital was in use by patients and that 3 were killed and 17 were injured. There are photos of injured pregnant women walking away from the debris. Russia claims these photos are staged. Speculation from the West is that Russia is attacking civilians like this intentionally to break the Ukrainian people's spirit.
Now you know both sides. Do with it what you will.
Well, so far they've said, officially, about this one bombing, in order (I may have missed some other explanations):
(1) We didn't do it. (I think this story also had “Ukraine bombed it themselves”, but that may have been added by unofficial proxies and not part of the official explanation.)
(2) We did it, intentionally, but it is long out of use as a maternity hospital and is instead an Azov base and so part of our legitimate war against Ukrainian Nazis, and the pregnant women shown are crisis actors.
Are you making an equivalence between bombing hospitals and releasing private information as a side-effect of leaking a censorship organization's data?
