Ahh OP honestly It is good to have people see all the different perspectives and make their own decisions with dignity but I suppose I think The opposite of what you think in this matter and there's nothing wrong with either opinion but I respectfully disagree
This war was started by the USA overthrowing Ukraine's democracy in 2014 and installing a puppet Nazi government designed to be a proxy for NATO to threaten Russia. The US believed they could take over Russia again and loot and pillage it like they did in the 90s. With the Iraq war, they lost control of it when Putin refused to help them murder a million plus Iraqis. He was supposed to be their tame, controlled dictator of the place that they were selling off to their oligarchs for pennies.
This was all well understood and known before the massive propaganda avalanche after the 2022 invasion (that Russia tried to avoid for the 8 years prior). Absurd repetition of the "Unprovoked" invasion. Reinventing history to spin a yarn about Russia just deciding to invade to steal land etc.

Well IDK about shameless, maybe quiet justified in this situation given the war they've endured on their country the last few years
