> Putin's invasion of Urkaine doesn't justify doing other bad things

Yes it absolutely does. Killing is bad, killing invaders in defense of your country is justified. Collapsing Russia's economy is bad, but in light of Putin's actions it's justified. Putting malware in your packages is an extension of that concept.

It's unclear to me whether putting malware in your packages is effective, but it's certainly worth trying, and I absolutely can't condemn someone for that. If you wield power you are responsible for it's effects, and to some lesser extent you are responsible for the effects of your inaction.
