This is so typical of Russian bullshit and propaganda. They do things, then accuse someone else of doing that same things, both to distract others from what they are doing, and to excuse their behavior. If I murder you, that doesn't make it ok just because someone else committed murder too.
Replace "Russia" with "USA".
For me it is exactly the same imperial oppressive type of government except that USA do it on world scale.
Russia is now too poor to fund its warfare while USA can create infinite amount of money backed by most countries in the world.
Both have the same huge hypocrisy.
