Putin's Russia is part of an Axis of Homophobia which includes Iran, Orbán's Hungary, the GOP in the US, Uganda, Afghanistan, and others.

The resistance of many Republicans to giving aid to Ukraine may partly be because they see Putin as a kindred spirit.

Of course a loss for Putin would also mean a major defeat for hatred against the LGBTQ+ community. Putin is currently the most high profile homophobe on Earth.

Russia outlaws all LGBTQ+ groups & people as “extremist” threats

While not perfect, Ukraine has a more tolerant attitude and has Pride parades and LGBTQ members of its armed forces. An early victim of Russia's terrorist war against Ukraine was Elya Shchemur – a Kharkiv Pride activist who was killed in the Russian bombardment of Ukraine's second largest city.

Perhaps Putin fears that a NATO Ukraine might turn Russia gay. 🏳️‍🌈
