I see where you are coming from, but I think this is not comparable.

Imagine if russia invaded Germany. Took over Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (renaming it to Putlergrad oblast), banned German and forced everyone to speak russian and get russian citizenship. In the mean-time Ukraine and Poland would build a pipeline to the newly annexed Putlergrad oblast. How would you feel then?

False equivalence. The pipeline did not go to what I presume would be Crimea in this example. Either way, I would not bomb Poland's or Ukraine's pipeline, especially after it was shut down anyway and would've easily been solved through politics rather than terrorist like actions - especially considering that Germany is one of Ukraine's biggest contributors. If Germany was somehow taken over by the AfD or whatever, then fine, bomb away, because at that point you'd have a hostile and Russia aligned government anyway. If you want to join the West, the EU, then you'd have to be better than Russia, not act like them.
