Russian government made my mother cry when the financing of the research institute she worked at was cut so that more could be spent on the war. It effectively made me choose who I love more, my mother or my government. In my mind, "peaceful good guy" governments don't do that.
Also, it's pointless to bring up mobilized Ukrainians and pretend like you have any pity for them when you're ultimately still arguing that Putin's actions, and by extent the murders of those very Ukrainians, are justified.
