It is obviously Russia's fault for terrorism and it is also sucks Ukraine can't fire back as well as not having enough air defense.

But why allow people to gather in dense areas like a shopping mall on a border city known for getting rockets lobbed at them?

It's Ukraine's second biggest city. What shall Ukraine do? Tell 1.5m people to sit in a bunker for years? It's not as if they are much safer at home so that it doesn't really matter if they are in a shopping center or a residential building. These people still go to work and have their daily life after all.
