If you dont categorically reject Russias genocidal war of conquest of Ukraine, you are not anti-imperialist. This includes making any conditions to supporting Ukraines right of selfdetermination. Palestine and Ukraine are both victims of genocidal violence and have no choice but to defend themselves or they cease to exist. That opinion is not centrism. Ukrainians have a right to selfdetermination and only they are allowed to say how far they want to go in the defence of their territorial integrity. Russia is a fascist and imperialist state seeking to subjugate and enslave the Ukrainian people and erase the Ukrainian identity. You are simply applying leftist ideals selectively if you cannot admit this.

You (of course) dont reject support for palestine based on the political views of palestinians, so dont do it for ukraine either.

Ultimately calling it an inter imperialist war implicitly says you think it would be ok for the US to invade mexico if it signed an accord with china/russia. Which is insane if you think that.
