Whataboutism.

Seriously claiming that other people engage in "whataboutism" is just an admittance of one's own hypocrisy.

The undeniable fact is that Russia invaded Ukraine

After NATO self-admittedly kept pushing for war with Russia with Ukraine as its proxy.

That makes Russia the aggressor and Ukraine the victim in that conflict.

Attempting to join the most prolific invader in the world is an act of aggression, and so is pushing for war with Russia. I wouldn't say that responding to those makes a state the aggressor, but the people of Ukraine (excluding its leadership) are some of the victims.
