Technically true, but this reeks of false balance fallacy. The US recognizing that Yatsenyuk will inevitably take power (given that he was the most popular opposition politician by far) and strategizing about factional politics following a brewing revolution is just categorically different to annexing territory and poisoning opponent politicians.

But annexing a piece of land is just on a completely different level.

There is no equivalency and you should not be trying to create it.

There's also no equivalency between a serial killer who killed 10 people and a serial killer who killed 100 people.

I'm not trying to create any equivalency. But if these two serial killers are fighting each other to death, may I please be excused from rooting for one of them?
