Putin's war in Ukraine should not stop you from learning Russian

One point that was brought up by one of my potential students of the Russian language today was the fact that learning the language at a time when Putin is waging aggression against neighbouring Ukraine was impossible and inappropriate. Why would it be so? Does the Russian language serve as a hostage to militaristic or imperial or self-promotion ambitions? Does Russian culture become less beautiful and interesting because of an unjust and illegal occupation? Would fewer business and interaction opportunities exist in the future due to Putin? I'm strongly of the opinion that interpersonal and intercultural relations should not suffer because of medieval politics and warmongering. Let's study Russian!
