Why are some right wing talking points similar to communist ones (Russia/Ukraine) (hexbear.net)

I'm trying to learn more about the Russia/Ukraine conflict. In the articles that I find that seem to be critical of Ukraine, there are a few that are right wing that seem to have similar viewpoints as what I've read on here or in the more leftist articles.

For example this piece from National Interest, or this from the CATO institute.

There are others that aren't flagged as right wing that are critical, but it's just got me wondering, why would right wing politicians/publications perceive these things similarly to how some communists would when the ideologies of both are so extremely opposite?

Disclaimer: I'm not pro-ukraine at all, but in my search for info that's not super pro-Ukraine propaganda, this is the stuff that comes up for me

leftists want the status quo to change in order to preserve ecology, climate, and human rights

rightists want the status quo to change bc they think it's not efficient enough in murdering gay people and POC
this is also why the white right are always morons, any sentient person on that side would realize the status quo supports their collective interests

No, workers on the right are still workers. The status quo is just as bad for them as it is for us. Their false conscience is that they blame the gays instead of the ruling class.
