Geopolitics doesn't care about my or your morals.

There is only what begets power & combatting power of your competition / foes.

I'm actually for defending Ukraine, but anti provoking Russia.

I don't really care that much if Ukraine has less land because they made a dumb move joining NATO & provoking Russia - that war should end if it's possible to end it.

Regardless of morals, I think it's quite clear that there is a battle for freedom in the East.

Authoritarians vs democratic nations.
