As does Putin. All the way down to paying obvious Nazi mercenaries to do his dirty work around the world. Oh and the Chechnyan Islamists that Putin has deployed as part of the official Russian army are hardly better. And that are also very obvious and provable facts.
There is no moral right side in this conflict other than that the civilians of one side, the Ukrainians, are those most effected and that Ukraine definitely did not start this war with Russia.
The whole world is affected by this. Ukrainian and Russian men are affected, because they fight and die in this war. And you're right, what you said are also facts.
We should stress every single government who has something to gain from this to stop what they are doing, and let people live in democracy and peace. That's a fucking long way to go, but better to start that way before WWIII, and not after. I prefer that very much.
Look up some pictures from the top people active in what the west likes to call "Wagner group" of mercenaries, which are under direct control of a close Putin ally and also deployed in the Ukraine. They have literal tattoos based on SS Nazi uniforms and are showing them off on the internet openly.
Also read up on public declarations of Chechnyan military commanders in the Russian Army about waging Jihad in Ukraine...
The "Nazi collaborator" monuments are there not because of they collaborated with the Nazis (most Ukrainians don't even know this as it isn't taught in schools), but because these people also fought against Russian colonial oppression. Would be very strange to have monuments for that in Russia.
This Wagner group?
