When I found out that Navalny wasn't against the invasion of Ukraine I stopped caring about what happened to him.

Uh that seems like a pretty absolutist world view. You can simultaneously think that the invasion of Ukraine is terrible, and care that a Russian man is being jailed for nearly twenty years by a kangaroo court.

He's a Russian politician, I could care less about what happens to him, especially after reading his previous views on Crimea.
