Putin is a dictatorial leader of a economically insignificant country with nuclear weapons. Ukraine is a corrupt country that seems to be the focus of child sex trafficking and a major source of money laundering for US politicians. They both are awful. All the worst people in the world back Ukraine. Doesn't mean Russia isn't also in the wrong. Why do you feel the need to side with either of them? Don't you have more pressing things closer to home to concern yourself with?
