This was has a lot more to do with imperial domination than capitalism, and framing it as being caused by “capitalist nations” rather than “one specific imperialist warmonger, the invader” is questionable at best.
This is largely, though as you acknowledge not entirely, not a war fought over workers’ rights so much as the right of a sovereign people to choose their future.
Bad phrasing on my part. Russia obviously started this war, however it can only come to this because Ukraine and Russia exist as separate antagonistic nations and not because the people living in these regions hate each other so much that they have to go to war with each other. Russia shouldn’t impose a future on the Ukrainian people and they should be supported in defending their ability to do so, however the Ukrainian government shouldn’t be equated with the future Ukrainians want, it’s still a (partially) corrupt, capitalist government.
