I think the wording on Russian expansion is a lot more bland than on NATO expansion.
I've no idea whether that is intentional or not but I don't think it is helpful if they want to come across as balanced.

Entirely fair and I agree (that it's much more focused on the actions of the West). That's an honest critique. There's a discussion that could be had about why STW may come out with more strongly worded statements to the West than the East, but that's not the discussion reekblefs decided to have.
Sure. I'm not going to argue with you on this and I'm happy for you to think they're idiots. I'd be a bit more generous to a group of anti-war campaigners.
But you're misconstruing what they've written when you write that they are not calling for Russia to end its expansion into Ukraine ("absolutely nowhere for Russia to do the same"). There is literally a statement - before the line where they call for an end of an Eastern expansion of Nato - that makes that clear.
