We should be helping Ukraine

By "we" I assume you mean your government. If you're in the US your country already backed a fascist coup in 2014 and had been bombing eastern Ukrainians and ethnic Russians like in Donbas and Crimea for resisting. As you'd expect, that meant people in Donbas welcomed the Russian army as liberators in 2022.

Not to mention blocking all negotiations with Russia because the war is profitable for the US MIC.

I wouldn't exactly call that "helping"
