I haven't seen leftists defending Russia at all, but have witnessed scores of right-wing Americans and Canadians garbling that Russian D.
Generally what you'll see is right wing types directly supporting Russia (because they hate gay and trans people) and a certain stripe of leftists who will lean more into "NATO expansionism", "Western proxy war" and all that other thoroughly debunked nonsense that, while not explicitly pro-Russia, is all directly lifted from Kremlin propaganda talking points.
TIL criticizing NATO is pro russian
It is if you are doing it in a discussion about whether or not Russia should be allowed to enact wars of aggression...
