How would you come to that conclusion?

The west treats Ukraine like they do Israel. After the western-supported Euromaidan coup in 2014, they've armed millitant Banderites to crack down on communists and geopolitical adversaries of the west.

Its government came to power as a result of a US-backed coup, for starters.

edit: For the record, I upvoted you because your question is fair and valid if you don't know the history and context of the situation. And the western media where many people understandably (if sadly) get their information from will never provide that history and context. That is why we get these confidently ignorant people coming into threads like this gobsmacked that anyone can deny what they see as the obvious truth of Russia's "unjustified invasion by a foreign aggressor."
