"Deserves" is a strange word in this context. Did the ukranian software engineers "deserve" to get invaded? No, but it happened. But you seem to be saying that if they defend themselves, they do deserve to get invaded? You seem to be following a very long-running fallacy that you can unilaterally opt-out of violence. Ordinary citizens in safe countries fortunately can opt-out, but only because others are in the business of war protecting us from the likes of Putin. Condemning those good warriors is perilous.
