Chatham House is generally reasonable, but their hand-waving away of the criminal Iraq war in Myth 1 is rather glib. Neither the US nor British government have any moral standing to criticize Russia. But "The West" is more than just those two nations. Saying the UNSC did not criticize the Iraq War is technically true, but neither did it criticize the Russian invasion of Ukraine, since then as now one of the interested parties is the aggressor.
