Both spread Russian propaganda.

Examples - Ukraine started the war. Putin is not a dictator. Western/NATO expansion is aggressive encroachment and Russia has a sovereign duty to defend itself.

This last one is funny considering Russia no longer controls those territories and Russia themselves are the invaders.

Putin is definitely a dictator who started the war, and invaded Ukraine.

But doesn't every country have the right to defend itself? (Not that Russia is 'defending itself' in this case)

I don't know why you're asking a question that you answered. Yes they do, but that's not what Russia is doing. That's their excuse and it makes no sense. Ukraine has a right to defend itself. Russia is invading.
