I think you may be downplaying the Denazify part of it. The fact that Ukraine has continually glorified genocidaires, put up monuments to them, incorporated neo-nazis into their government, armed them, and are supported by NATO, is something the entire world should be alarmed at. For example, Canada's deputy PM is a descendent of them and condones their actions, which is extremely troubling. Poland and the Israel regime have also condemned Ukraine in similar ways for this.
One of the main reasons for the original secession of the Donbass was like you said outright attacks, and attempting to "Ukrainize" the area language wise, which is absurd considering how similar the people are.
The nazi problem of ukraine is not nearly as big as you guys seem to think. This is obviously a blatent excuse to show on their own propaganda channels. What news are you reading?
Right, so Israel and Poland are just fucking idiots for making a diplomatic incident over Ukraine's constant reverence of people who perpetuated the Holocaust? the fact that there are doofuses like you denying this is just another reason why it is a problem. hell, look at this list of monuments to just 1 SS guy, and that's just in Ukraine, not counting the ones in other countries or other Ukranian nazis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commemoration_of_Stepan_Bandera
Anyways, stay mad. The Nazi corpses thankfully keep piling up.
I recently did a whole tour trough poland near the border with ukraine. And Poland as a relatively poor country is doing maby the most to help ukranians.
I suggest you actually read the article about bandera, here are two parts for you:
References to Bandera and "Banderites" in Russian propaganda featured during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, with Vladimir Putin making references to "Banderites" in his speeches. Russia heavily promoted the theme of "denazification", and used rhetoric that was similar to Soviet era policy of equating the development of Ukrainian national identity with Nazism due to Bandera's collaboration, which has a particular resonance in Russia.
Political scientist Andreas Umland wrote in 2017 that issues of remembrance in Ukraine are complicated by its history of existing between and being terrorized by two totalitarian regimes, where millions of Ukrainians were killed, but some collaborated, and the extensive exploitation and manipulation of this history by an aggressive neighbor, Russia.
Anyways, stay mad. Kiev is older them Moskow.
Muh heritage. Nazi talk. Mask off.
By that logic the capital of the world would be Jericho or Damascus.
