As a Russian-speaking person of color who was born and raised in Ukraine, I believe that I am in a position to speak on the issue of nationalism and neo-Nazism in Ukraine. A long thread 👇

This is a very good thread, useful to use against those idiots who buy into the 'Nazi Ukraine' stuff. I won't comment on it too much cause it's better to just read it for yourself. There's a lot of useful information but this part specifically is something I somehow didn't connect until now.

For example, the media often mention the ultra-right regiment of Azov. Its founding year? 2014. Date of Russia's attack on Ukraine? 2014. The current rise of the Ukrainian nationalist and far-right movements is to large extent caused by Russia's expansive aggression.

Ukraine is about to start their bloodiest and hardest battle of the entire war, the battle for Donbas, they have no time for this shit, if Russia encircles Ukrainian forces in the Donbas then it'll be lost forever, hurry the fuck up with this stuff.

Yep good thread indeed and it has been articulated very well with many words. As I mentioned in way less words many many pages ago in this thread. Every country has a Nazi problem. In 2022 surely there are better ways to deal with it than war. Just a piss weak excuse to try and gain new territory. well regain the old USSR.
