Second, the drafts contain several articles that were added to the treaty at Russia’s insistence but were not part of the communiqué and related to matters that Ukraine refused to discuss. These require Ukraine to ban “fascism, Nazism, neo-Nazism, and aggressive nationalism”—and, to that end, to repeal six Ukrainian laws (fully or in part) that dealt, broadly, with contentious aspects of Soviet-era history, in particular the role of Ukrainian nationalists during World War II.
LOL all Ukraine had to do was repudiate Bandera and they fucking balked over that.
It is easy to see why Ukraine would resist letting Russia determine its policies on historical memory
Yeah, it is easy to see why Ukraine won't just allow a foreign power to dictate their policies on—checks notes—banning Nazism.
But, anyway, Z is Jewish, Azov denounced its Nazi past a long time ago, and all those mainstream media reports in the West about there being a neo-Nazi problem in pre-2022 Ukraine were really just Russian propaganda, so this is all just a coincidence.
