What hypocrisy have those Ukrainian players shown? If the US invaded Ukraine they may we'll have decided not to play American chess players.
As for your note that there are multiple "actors" in the Ukrainian conflict, many people don't buy that. They don't think Russia has any legitimate right to "buffer" states.

But it's part of the larger hypocrisy that prevents us as a species from holding our politicians to account.
