German antiwar organizers have to a person avoided such "justification," always condemning the actions of Russia (but nonetheless calling for a cease fire, no armaments to Ukraine, and ending NATO).
Nevertheless German media and authorities disparaged (if not more) protestors as having violated these rules.
If free speech means you can only defend "our" side it isn't very free.
Western Media loves to call out censorship in Russia. But similar censorship can be found in lots of places in "free" countries.
The first step to peace, that does not involve "victory" by subjugating the "enemy," is understanding.
It's clear to me that the "enemy" needs a good lawyer, and wagon of advocates too, if we're ever going to go towards peace.
