They are currently opposed to sanctions against Russia when it is actively involved in a war against Ukraine. The only way to make this position consistent is to assume that they consider Russia's decision to act against Ukraine to be justified.

Their current position is Ukraine gives up their right of association, referenda on recession, and no one can do anything if Russia interferes in the referendum.

This is essentially Russia's position,. except saying Ukraine should accept it without fighting.

We've identified the problem with brunch: relying on others' labor.

This is also the inverse of blue collar cosplaying: It's wrong because it's *like* something the petit bourgeois do, nevermind the historical ubiquity of dining out and periods when the exploitation went the other way.
