Define "their government"?
Do they own the oligarchs and bureaucrats that rule Russia?
If the country I happen to be citizen of launch a war, like it did recently, say in Lybia, am I responsible of this because I failed to predict that the government for which I did not vote would start that war?
You seam to strongly believe that reality is divided into countries. I think this largely fictional view obscures everything in our present situation.

More responsible than a citizen of another country.
How does Russia's invasion of Ukraine end?
The only two I see are:
Ukrainian troops kill enough Russians and physically push them back into Russia or Putin orders a withdrawal due to domestic pressure or fear of that domestic pressure.
The Ukrainians are doing the first part but the Russian people are the only ones that can do the second part (with the helping of sanctions).
At some point all involved parties will find a new equilibrium they are OK with.
Opinion of russians in the street count very little. Opinion of russians in the army probably more I believe.
But our opinion does count a little too. I would like if more westerners would show support for negotiations (esp. regarding NATO) instead of endless war.
