It's very strange to call out hypocrisy when someone is taking a moral stance against something negative they have previously been guilty of.

The former is an attempt at encouraging someone to think twice about bad behaviour, the latter would be an attempt at encouraging someone to think twice about good behaviour (considering we can't go backwards in time). I guess you could argue that it's an attempt at encouraging good behaviour during some theorhetical future event in line with the current moral stance... but it doesn't seem like a really pressing point to make.
The hypocrisy is going on at this moment, so why wouldn't I bring it up now? I wish people would stand up against their own government for doing the same thing. I applaud the brave people of Russia who are protesting this invasion.
America's fingers are all over the regime change in Ukraine that occurred in 2014. They also have blood on their hands. As far as I'm concerned they're no better than Russia.
