New York Times erkänner nu att ukrainska soldater regelbundet bär på Nazi-symboler. Naturligtvis är de inte nazister för det utan det har en helt annan betydelse för dem:

/.../Today, as a new generation fights against Russian occupation, many Ukrainians see the war as a continuation of the struggle for independence during and immediately after World War II. Symbols like the flag associated with the Ukrainian Insurgent Army and the Galizien patch have become emblems of anti-Russian resistance and national pride.https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/05/world/europe/nazi-symbols-ukraine.html

The decision by some Ukrainian soldiers to wear patches with Nazi icons threatens to reinforce Russian propaganda used to justify the invasion. It also could give the symbols mainstream life after the West's decades-long efforts to eliminate them.https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1665726445493026819?s=20

Ukraine's neo-Nazi and ultra-nationalist regiment has been well documented and acknowledged even prior to the Russian invasion, and discarding it as "Russian propaganda" is disingenuous. Ukraine has a history of neo-Nazi involvement which is well established.

det är okej . vi vet att det finns nazister i ukraina. inte lika många som i tex grekland eller ryssland. men lite fler per capita än i sverige.
Det är en rätt gammal rysstrollning, avfärdades för ganska länge sedan om du hade brytt dig om att läsa tråden.
Genomsnitts ukrainare har inget emot judiska grannar.

och även i sverige har vi ju våra nazitåg och nazimördare. även om genomsnittssvensken inte heller har något emot judiska grannar.
