The Jan 6 cultists don't think for themselves; and their sole emotion/motivator appears to be hate/racism.

The Ukrainians are fighting for a real and noble cause. The insurrectionists... not so much.

The Ukrainians have intelligently and effectively mounted a defense of their nation. The insurrectionists were attempting to destroy their nation. Their actions and words on January 6th and afterwards do not demonstrate any intelligence or grasp of reality.

The Ukrainians are on the side of righteousness. The insurrectionists are thugs and fools on the side of Trump.

Yeah, okay. They're both human beings, if that was your point.
