How ironic that you, a foreigner, tell me, an American, what's going on in the US based on articles of people who have never been to the US.
See what I did there?
I've been to Ukraine. I read and watch video of people who have been or are right now in Ukraine. I can see the Ukrainian troops with god damn Swastikas with my own eyes, Hundreds and hudreds of videos and photos covering decades of time at this point. I'm sure 1-2% are fakes. The other 98-99% are also facts like the fact of racism in the US.
Stepan Bandera was a Ukrainian Nazi before, during and after WWII. He was not created by the Soviets. His followers then and those who still follow him now are god damn Nazis. This issue pre-dates Russia's invastion by 80+ years.
Here's an article from 2010 (12 years before the Russian invasion) when the then president of Ukraine honored Bandera as a "Hero of Ukraine." The article is from George Washington University in the US - DC to be exact about a book on Bandera. The book details Bandara's Nazism, and Ukraine's Nazi problem. A problem that exists to this day.
These are facts. Not made up by Russians. Historical and present day facts.
