Why should Ukraine be punished for American sins?
Your logic is basically "Alice murdered Bob and you said nothing, therefore you can't say anything when Dave murders Eve". If I knew Eve and didn't knew Bob it's pretty obvious I will care more. There's nothing wrong with this.
What is wrong is silencing people who speak out against aggressive wars. It's a common tactic called whataboutism. And it's exactly what you are doing.
