When they lie this shamelessly about easily provable events, don't you have to ask what else they are lying about? If your cause is just, why the need to lash out at your own citizens who dare to show the truth? These are the behaviors of people who know they are in the wrong and are deathly afraid of losing control.
Russia's actions are orders of magnitude worse than whatever Ukraine is doing wrong. Human attention just doesn't scale well. So talking about the two things in the same breath tends to minimize Russia's atrocities while magnifying Ukraine's less problematic actions. So "what about Ukraine" is a game that I'm simply not inclined to play while we're dealing with Russia being a menace to the world.
Russia's actions as portrayed by habitual liars and slanderers that is. You really should re-examine the events since 2014 (and possibly since 1991) from a different perspective. You'll find things are a lot more gray.

https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/files/cow/imce/papers/2023/Indirect%20Deaths.pdf
Roughly 1 million of these deaths came from direct combat in war zones across Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Somalia, and Yemen, while the remaining 3.5 million are “indirect deaths” that resulted from the conflicts’ “destruction of economies, public services, and the environment,” according to the report.
The sobering findings highlight the long-term effects of the Global War on Terror, which has been the deadliest fight of the 21st century so far. The death toll, which Brown researchers described as a “reasonable and conservative estimate,” rivals that of major post-WWII conflicts, including the wars in Korea and Vietnam.

When did you discover your repulsion toward illegal invasions?

So we should have surrender to the terrorists? We should not supply arms to a country facing an evil empire? What the point of your post? Many of the casualty figures in the report are very tangential to US actions.
