I feel like I remember a lot of media condemning the US invasion, even in the US. And a lot of reports seem to suggest that Russia even armed the Taliban to fight against the US and supported them along the way, which is pretty bad as they were always enemies themselves. Wagner even directly engaged US troops in the Middle East and Russia was found to be paying bounties for dead US troops. The only difference really seems to be the much larger western powers are much more publicly vocal and capable about arming Ukraine and the Ukrainian war is much larger in scale.
The west (mostly the US) just has a massive advantage due to owning most of the companies that are international juggernauts and also most of the social media worldwide. The actions both nations take is basically the same as they both just pursue their own agendas without regard for others, granted this seems to just be a thing for every nation powerful enough to defend itself.
You can't compare arming somebody and sending bounty hunters with an actual military invading another country as USA did for many times.
