Much of the pro-Russia content posted in the West is part of a disinformation war being waged by Russian state actors. There certainly are people stupid/ignorant enough to believe Putin's invasion was provoked, but it's more likely to be part of a state campaign instead. The vast majority of humans aware of this conflict (including in some Russian-allied countries) are opposed to the invasion, so we would expect English-majority websites to reflect that ratio absent manipulation.
