It has never been discussed widely in the media, but in the same manner Russia can argue that people in Donbass have been killed for 8 years by Ukraine. Isn't that the same kind of justification to military intervention?

Their stated goal for the invasion is to “demilitarize” and “denazify” the whole of Ukraine. Ukraine has a Jewish president.

And yet there are neonazis in the Ukrainian military who attack Russian-speaking separatists in the east and who were in the vanguard of the 2014 revolution. It's wacky and hard to believe but a conflict the large is never black and white.
And secondly, the first Iraq war was a just war from US’ side — Iraq invaded a small friendly neighboring country (Kuwait.)
