Over the years I’ve known and worked with many people in and from Russia and Ukraine. I’ve also known people from many other countries and worked in several . Individual people and their families are not there governments and their governments are often corrupt and abusive. Government is the root of all evil - assisted by institutions of religion.

Your points are good. There is clearly a difference in the willingness of Ukrainians to pursue and protect freedom versus the Russians, and the Ukrainians are not motivated to seize territory and expand by conquest.

I don't hate every single russian. I know a lot who said that he or she does not support this war or putin. I don't have any problems with such people. but if there are no visible signs that russians against this war I will not consider them as such. I don't like general conclusions like simple people are good government is bad. no. I just relay on what certain person says or does.
