Ukraine has had a far right problem but lots of countries do. Doesn't mean it's more than the fringe as it is in other countries and it's CERTAINLY not a credible talking point or justification for war to invade a sovereign democracy. And the stupid part is that this shit still goes onto today, even to this comment where you attempt to justify it.

The collective west does have a Nazi problem, it's acute in Ukraine.

Ukraine has been getting shelled for over 8 years now, it's been the Ukrainian government doing it, and that specifically has been what provoked the invasion.

It's just observable reality, idk what's so hard about remembering events from a few years ago for liberals

You mean they've been fighting Russian backed separatists that were trying to join their regions with Russia

If they want to live under a totalitarian regime they were always free to move to Russia themselves

Careful not to let your MAGA hat fall when you yell at the clouds.
