Russia started the war, unprovoked, on foreign soil. So, no, that’s a false assessment. Every death in this war is Russia’s fault because it is, by definition, Russia’s war.

That rail happens to be as the main military supply route hence it is a completely legitimate military target, civilian deaths are unfortunate. Russia simply blocks entire residential neighborhoods. Yeah let’s pretend it’s the same.

> I think we're past the point of one side is better than the other.

This is just demonstrably untrue.

It's a bad idea to avoid comparison with the past, particularly with the World War II, for not a good reason. Comparing this war with WWII, then both sides did a lot of things, yet the conclusion still is that the Hitler deserved to be slain.
