There are some from the extreme left or right in many countries who don't want to support Ukraine and even some who are on Russia's side but the majority definitely wants to support Ukraine. Not only because they need help but obviously also because we know that Russia wouldn't stop there. We already defend Poland, Estonia, Lithuania and so on with our support of Ukraine.

And that some people who don't even have something bad in mind still really believe Russia only wants to fight Nazis is astonishing.

As an example of that, there was reportedly a far-left march in Germany over the weekend which had the DPR flag call for the west to be crushed. Also cited Mali (where France had gone in to stop an Al-Qaeda linked Islamist group) and Gaza.

What I always find odd with those groups is how the international causes they support seem to be completely at odds with their own ideology. The Islamist group in Mali would have repressed them. The DPR is not a communist group, but a Russian nationalist one, but presumably seems all good in their eyes as it evokes the Soviet Union. Also the irony of them criticising Western action in various places but supporting the similar actions by Russia in those places.
