There's a difference between getting excited over seeing a dead body and feeling hope that Ukraine is not losing when seeing invaders stopped.
Yes, they are humans, but they are humans that took the weapons and came to another country with the intent of killing people.
So everyone in this space is Ukrainian?
I personally prefer an analogy of a surgeon. Cutting people with sharp objects is bad, but when it's for the benefit of a patient, it is a lesser damage and thus acceptable. Utilitarianism, if you like.
Those dead Russians came with an intention of killing as many Ukrainians as possible to achieve the aim of their leader. Killing them is a shame, but it's the last available measure to reduce the number of people killed.
So to your question, if wishing to stop the killings makes one Ukrainian, then yes, everybody here is one. I thought just humans, but sure.
