If a nation that interferes with nations and commits war crimes does not get your support, why are you supporting one now? You should ideally be just taking an anti-war stance, recognizing that both sides are interfering in other countries and saying "hey, maybe this whole situation is fucking stupid?"
And I said "like" because that's the attitude you're adopting by being strictly anti-Russian. I used speech marks to indicate a kind of popular narrative that I see repeated a lot - if I wanted to quote you, I'd use <quote>.

I think the disconnect lies in the repercussions of support. Adopting an 'anti-war' stance at this point, is to consign Ukraine to Russian occupation. Supporting Ukraine doesn't immediately suggest support of US or US led operations, it supports one country not crossing borders and fucking up anothers citizens and infrastructure.
While there is certainly a proxy war going on here between Moscow and the west, the surface war of Russia invading Ukraine is much more important to many. You can certainly support the latter without supporting the former even though they are so closely tied together now.
