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

    I don't think there's even a need of critical support to Russia as the later is as eager as the USA to expand and export its imperialist core, that is the capital, to the said buffer states.

    That's not what imperialist core means (phrase is imperial core and it refers to a region and populace, not capital). Imperialism requires a lot more than simple export of capital. They also are not imperialist in this case, just as Saddam Hussein wasn't imperialist to resist US invasion. Russia has plenty of domestic areas for investment and are famously the lowest capital-to-asset ratio in the capitalist world. Russia is not capital rich. They aren't imperialist. Stop repeating this Liberal lie and misanalysis. Russia's economy resembles that of a colonized resource nation, not an imperialist financialized economy. They are anti-imperialist and destroying imperialist outposts. They are allied with all AES. Wake the fuck up and get on the right side of the line, I'll be celebrating when Ukraine's fascist junta is destroyed and NATO is kicked out of Eastern Europe.
