While people who only rely on TV to know what is happening in Ukraine may be only getting 1/9 of the complete picture, based on your flagged comment (that I had time to read), I humbly assume you only have 3/9 of the complete picture.
You're defending a Carcharodon carcharias shark (Russia governance) in a fight against a Sphyrnidae shark (Ukrania governance) that is replacing an Isurus oxyrinchus shark (Family Lamnidae, I remark).
In any case, fight between sharks, each doing what they do best, to bleed the fish, aka citizens, while the remoras feed on selling tools to sharpen their teeth.
I think Ukrainian citizens are the ones that deserve protection, as well as Russian citizens trying to stop the blood.
So, IMHO, we, as mere fish, should not help any of the predators propaganda. With your 3/9 of the complete picture you are under the Carcharodon carcharias domain, a predator who won't hesitate to bite you as soon as it gets hungry.
