    I chalk it up to socio-economic issues due to the Soviet Union, which led to poor education in many areas of Ukraine.

    I think its the history of hatred fanned by Ukrainian Orthodox Church vs Russia (and their orthodox Church) which happen to have identical interpretations of bible.

    You mentioned atrocities from WW2, but that’s not being done today.

    14000 dead in Donbas from “nazis”. Its not nailing babies to trees by the tongue atrocities, but it still counts.

    pre-2022 conflict were due to the Donbas War, which Russia also instigated.

    Donbas: You nazis suck, we want autonomy.
    Ukraine: You die, terrorist insurgents.
    Russia: Ok we help protect you. Weapons. Advisors.

    I don’t see it as Russia instigating.

    It is pretty clear that they are pulling in many arguments to justify their expansionist wishes.

    Strongly disagree. Peace terms were always reasonable. US puppets that hate ethnic Russians no longer deserve to rule over them, and it is far better for populations if they separate peacefully.

    invading Ukraine to “denazify” them makes sense in this context?

    A return to 2013 Ukrainian rulership is best for Ukraine, even if EU only wants to support the post 2014 nazi rulership to continue antagonizing Russia with terrorism and deprived trade from Russia. EU/IMF did not genuinely want a trade deal with Yanukovych. Just to string him along to fuel CIA protests. Nazis with an EU trade deal while EU isolates itself form Russia and keeps threatening it is not good for anyone, least of which Ukraine puppet control. Continued division and impoverishment of Europe to be manipulated further by US, and who should have a hard time with their schizophrenic support of pro nato nazis and suppression of anti nato nazis. Trump’s master success so far is getting colonies to divide themselves further from Russia, and in case of Canada, from China too.

    In current peace talks, denazification is not a topic. Only demilitarization. Neutrality. Nazis without rabid EU stupidity backing them are less dangerous, and future elections, including banned parties, might return a Yanukovych type, out of anger for what a failure the nazis were.
