I agree with everything you said except one point. I especially value the point of view of someone who lived in apartheid South Africa.

My wife and her family are all from Czechia. It is known since WWII that Ukraine has a Nazi problem. It IS being solved, through the brutal method of killing or capturing the Ukrainian armed forces. The OG Ukrainian Nazis are, like the OG German Nazis of WWII, very fanatical fighters. They are (were) on the fronts. Meaning a higher percentage are being killed or captured than just the average poor Ukrainian conscript.
