Also, what a depressing and shitty situation to be in.
I mean yeah. That’s more or less my take. I don’t agree with the mentality of, “Ukraine can do no wrong in the defense of their country”, I don’t think that their alliance with their fascist groups should be swept under the rug or buried in history or anything like that. It’s a sin they will have to pay for in one way or another eventually. But I don’t think it’s enough (at least for me) to side with Putin. Even if Ukraine was a majority fascist nation and Zelensky was an open Nazi sympathizer, my limited knowledge of Putin’s politics do not lead me to believe that he would stage an invasion solely for the altruistic act of rooting out the Nazis.
I’ll have to take a look at the Ukrainization wiki article. I knew of the divide between the East and West and that there was hostility between native Ukrainians and foreign Russians, but did not know there was a specific term for the “culture war”.
