There is nuance to Ukraine Russia war too. Yes Russia is the obvious aggressor, and strengthened secession movements in eastern Ukraine through propaganda, but there were always some ethnically Russian people living there who felt they belong more with Russia.
They, along with the help of Russia were leading some kind of separatist movement and Ukraine bombed their own citizens to quel this issue. It's hard to tell amidst all the propaganda on both sides, but there is definitely nuance here. Also not to mention Ukraine flirting with NATO membership was apparently a red line for Putin.
