We can decide by consensus. Now I see Putin and his orgs being terrorist committing unjustified war crimes.

Those who commit war crimes. Israel mostly, could be Palestinians too.

How does one justify Putins actions?

Do you mean consensus as in the will of the majority forced on the minority?
Yes. I see this is a problem. In 1930's Germany these kind of referendums(fraudulent?) made the world-wide catastrophe.

Anyway it is fundamentally(?) always the majority who agrees on the rules. And the majority chooses how to advocate for minorities (one of which could be a terrorist organization).

So in case there are bloody coins on the blockchain - the majority has two options:

- collaborate with terrorists (do nothing)

- freeze the coins

I have to really appreciate how the US and China are getting every thing they want in this conflict without firing a single bullet:

* destroy crypto

* make Europeans dependent on American fuel supplies - cannot buy from Iran and Russia

* push Russia into China's arms
