Sorry I don't side with imperialism.
Ukraine wants to not be invaded by it's neighbor, and Russia did so to conquer it in direct contradiction to a treaty it signed when Ukraine gave it's nukes to Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union. On multiple occasions.
Did Russia not invade Ukraine's sovereign territory?
That's a pretty big rock you've been living under to miss that.
If Ukraine wasn't offered vast assistance they would have likely been swallowed by Russia by now.
Russia invaded. Russia was the aggressor, with some eye rolling cliché reasoning to boot.
Great, now fuck off pigeon.
