        They banned all other languages in official capacities, incorporates several nazi military formations into their armed forces, have a state funded cult of worshipping nazi collaborateurs, and their forces somehow can never be seen without wearing nazi insignia - UPA patches usually, but also Wehrmacht and SS ones, celtic crosses from time to time, slogans like “white power”, 1488 ones.

        Also have banned all opposition parties, no elections, murder dissidents, derliberately killing civilians. The usual charming stuff.

        The new Ukraine government was put into power by NATO, which has been expanding towards Russia. The whole war is a proxy! There would’ve been white peace long ago if NATO hadn’t continuously forced Ukraine to war. And how do you deny all those nazi symbols Ukrainian soldiers have been seen wearing?

          White peace when? After the first time Russia invaded and took Crimea? Whose to say tomorrow they wouldn’t want more? If Ukraine felt the need to join NATO, it’s because of the imperialistic threat from Russia.

          And there are nazis all over these days in case you didn’t notice. I’m sure those cities Russia destroyed were all just full of real Nazis!

            And any times Ukraine wants to join NATO, that would absolutely be justification to remove them from Russia’s border. Nato is an absolute threat to Russian sovereignty and allowing a country to be influenced by Nato on their boarder is a threat to the Russian people.

              Because you say so? Because nato has a history of invading their neighbors?

              Oh wait no that’s Russia

                Nato has invaded other nations all the time. Like during the Kosovo civil war. Nato has supported attacked on Iraq and Libya. Nato is an international terrorist and criminal ring

                  Takes one to know one I guess. I won’t defend nayo actions in iraq but Russia engages in terrorist and criminal actions on a global scale. I don’t blame any country seeking defensive support against such a neighbor.

                    Maybe they wouldn’t need “defense” if Ukraine wasn’t being run by Nazis and allowing dangerous Nato operatives near the Russian boarder
