It sounds like you're getting a lot of media out of Russia. Basically, your argument is that the 2014 invasion by Russia was valid, and then now that preemptive war is valid. Both of these things are morally questionable.
Then, there is the little "Neo-Nazi" quip. lol - do some research. The highest number per capita of Neo-nazis is in, you guessed it, Russia! Good ole St. Pete is a hotbed for this sort of stuff. Ukraine has a small issue comparatively - and Zelensky certainly doesn't typify this issue! Common Russian disinformation.
The very bottom line is this: Russia started shooting. If they stop, the war ends.
Ukraine has been very disciplined in not attacking Russia proper, as compared with Russia's daily bombings of civilians. Civilians! Commonly. Every. Day.
Russia is the bad guy here - really the one who resembles the Nazis - trying to "DeUkraineize" a people who have developed a national identity? Forcing migration? It's like he's reading the old WWII play book or something.
He's "afraid"? Nah. He's afraid at home - but the world could care less about Russia outside of oil and Gas...and they don't want crazies with a nuclear button...but mostly oil and Gas. Now they care about Russia! They are like, "oh crap, he really is crazy. We better make more armies!"
Why is it "Eastern" to be "totalitarian"? To me it is not a question of East and West, it is a question of totalitarianism vs. electoral/free governing (with all of the economic and moral issues and influences that brings). One can be Eastern without being totalitarian.
