I wasn’t trying to correct you, but more to say that Russia is hiding behind the definition. Energy infrastructure is a protected target because destroying it harms civilians. Russia is putting it’s money making machine under the same umbrella even though the impact of attacking it should only harm the state.
But, when I’m writing on a public forum such as this one, the target group of my text is usually the set of people that will read my comment, among which the person I’m replying to is only one individual among hundreds of others. I liked your insight, and am happy that you said it aloud.
