..think some British people have more sympathy for Putin and Russia than the Western Ukrainians, many of whose thugs seem to Nazi sympathisers. But its a dogs breakfast.
Pretty impressive how fast Russia moved when it wanted to.....
Many Ukranians fought for Nazis, many I know had no choice, do know of these cases and also post War that US recruited these to join US Army for shipping out for Invasion of Japan, luckily war ended earlier but the Allies kept their part of the bargain so US/UK/ etc got many ex Ukranian Wemharct soldiers.
Ukranian nationalists slaughted up to 300,000 Poles in what was Eastern Poland now Western Ukraine, seeing some of the Nationalist and Anti Semitic crap that is popping up in Kiev shows it never really went that far away.
