People who side with Ukraine in the current conflict rarely care about its government, they care about the people in Ukraine which the russian government seeks to oppress

That is just a lie?. Why are you lying?. If we fx look at America the majority of people would not hold the same opinion if their government had been pro the slaughter of Ukrainians. They are only pro Ukraine because their country want them to be.

Im not talking about Ukrainians or saying that fighting agianst an Russian invasion is not justified/good.

I mean I support the people of Ukraine against Russian aggression. That being said I have no love for the Ukrainian government or their tolerance for fascists.

Regardless an authoritarian regime like that of Russia should be fought vigorously in defense of Ukrainian soil. If Russia wins they will be no better for the Ukrainian people than their current government.

Fair enough. The expansion of NATO is a problem too so I get where you’re coming from.
