I prefer that they carry on showcasing the difference between Ukraine and the Russian Federation, by applying rule of law and respect for Human rights within their system.

Ukrainians aren't a bastion of law and order. They're still very soviet minded but they're doing their best to change that. It's why we still get stories of deep seated corruption and bribery.

OK apparently the perception of Ukraine being associated with Nazism stems from WWII-era nationalist collaborations, Soviet-era propaganda, post-Soviet ultranationalist groups (disavowed by government), and ongoing Russian disinformation.

Fair points. The azov battalion is still flying the modified ss/wolfsangel even after most of them got obliterated in Mariupol. Russia likes to point this out yes, but Russia also had the Wagner group (named after hitlers favorite composer) which was founded by Dmitry Utkin, a legit neo nazi, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How’d they get painted with the Nazi brush in the first place?
