THE WORLD: gasps
UK: These guys were on a holiday there
THE WORLD: claps
Or as the saying goes "Rules for thee and not for me".
PUTIN: These guys were on a holiday there (but actually conducting a war of aggression).
THE WORLD: Gasps in righteous indignation.
UK: These guys were on a holiday there (but actually defending against a war of aggression).
THE WORLD: Claps at the brave defenders.

(OK, except for the "saying"; I just made that up. But, something along those lines. As is, it seems to fit both Putler's blatant immoral lies, the West's equally blatant but morally defensible ones, and your whataboutish equivalizing of the two.)
We all have to thank the Russians to have shown the world in 2014 how to do it. And before that. And also to give us a great opportunity for Whataboutism.
Sigh, I probably still have those Bezmenov brochures from the early eighties lying around somewhere.
"Bombing civilians" is unacceptable if they are from "Europe" like Ukraine.
"Bombing civilians" is fine if they are savages from Middle East, Africa or "not-Europe", like Russia.
But then again, do you really think anybody is still reading this deep in the thread? They're already bored, no shiny tech, just endless babble.
But okay, your next move, Godwin’s law.

"Game over"
But, hey, there are flight simulators out there, aren't there?
