People who alienate the 90-92% of the non-white/european global population against Ukraine by repeatedly asserting that only white european lives should have any kind of moral impact or even be remembered at all are feeding into Putin's international propaganda operation. Could it be by accident? Perhaps, but it fits so perfectly with the Kremlin's diplomatic strategy to win over the rest of the world...
Perhaps you're right and I just don't want to believe that the goons in the Kremlin are telling the truth about how ignorant and mendacious the worldview of many of their (very real victims) are.
