I believe your argument is an example of whataboutism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism

While you're not wrong that people in general tend to care more about matters directly affecting them, this fact is simply not relevant to the original fact that peace for ruZZia can only mean their complete victory and genocide for Ukrainians.
