I don't know what you think, but I do believe Putin is just a bit hypocritical (see bolded below). Pretty rich that he condemns Israel's action as a violation of the UN Charter while he did the very same thing in Ukraine.

The Kremlin on Friday confirmed Putin's communications with both countries' leaders in a statement posted online Friday.
"President of Russia emphasised," in his call with Netanyahu, "the importance of resuming the negotiations and resolving any issues pertaining to Iran's nuclear programme exclusively via political and diplomatic means. In addition, the Russian leader expressed willingness to provide mediation so as to prevent further escalation," the Kremlin said in a statement posted on its website.
Speaking to Pezeshkian, Putin "stressed that Russia condemned Israel's actions, which had been carried out in violation of the UN Charter and international law. The Russian side has been fully supporting the efforts to resolve the situation around Iran's nuclear programme peacefully and has proposed concrete initiatives aimed at reaching mutually acceptable agreements," the statement said.
Russia will "continue to promote a de-escalation between Iran and Israel," the Kremlin wrote. Putin will also maintain "close contact" with authorities in both countries "with a view to resolving the present situation, which is fraught with the most disastrous consequences for the entire region."
Konstantin Kosachev, vice speaker of Russia's upper house of parliament and head of the Foreign Affairs Committee, earlier responded, saying that Russia would stand by Iran.
