I'm guessing you might be from a non-western country like India if there really isn't anyone around you who sides with Ukraine. I'm curious about how a population across the political spectrum (i.e. not just marginal political ideologies) can justify siding with Russia in this situation. I mean, is it really that Ukraine's intent to join NATO was provocative enough that Russia had no choice but to invade? I'm only really curious to understand a potential non-western perspective here, not an argument.
