    Was the reference to Nazi militias really necessary? Dehumanization is happening on both ends, but the majority off Ukrainians fighting right now are not Neo-Nazis. Are there Neo-Nazi elements in the country sure, but to paint Ukrainian citizens dying as some "Volkssturm" is very unnecessary.

      I understand, but the point is to illustrate the futility and desperation of the government's actions and not to paint Ukrainians as Nazis, which is reductive.

        The issue is that if he gives in too much, the next president elected might be more antagonistic to Russia, which would be counterproductive in this regard. People have lost their homes, family members, etc. and they want revenge. The best compromise would be to address the issue off Eastern Ukraine through a referendum or giving them autonomous status as the current structure off Ukraine has the oblasts having minimal power over their goverance.

      The Ukrainian government is tweeting in support of Azov coating bullets in lard to shoot at Chechan "orcs".

      I don't know what clearer evidence there could be that the Nazi rot has reached the roots of the tree.
