It all sadly falls into support of the fact that once a war gets off the ground,  there's no telling what can happen.  I have no idea of "rules of engagement" after one country commits an illegal invasion and brings military force across the border.

 But to suggest that the other country has to follow all the rules and conduct defense from within its own borders anyway... well that may feel like "OK let me fight with one hand behind my back while you do whatever you want".

So now,  if it wasn't a false flag attack on that fuel depot,  there has been some tit-for-tat regarding illegal border crossing with use of military force.   All the civilians of south and western Ukraine are likely to point at the local devastation committed by Russian operations there and say "yeah? and so f'g what?".
