I'm not suggesting ordinary Ukrainians are Nazis, but by my friend's report there were many, in Voleyn, during those years, who thought it was something to brag about. And that your politicians liked to hire as muscle.
I disbelieve anything Putin says as a matter of course, just as I disbelieve Western leaders, but when I started to hear about war crimes in 2014 by neo-Nazi militias my reaction was to wonder how many of those guys were my friends-of-friends on Facebook.
And when I hear Ukrainian politicians claim there are no Nazis in Ukraine, I know they are liars.
I don't think we should send them money, I think Ukrainians should feed their politicians into wood chippers.
Russians should do they same, and us in the West, too.
