Try spreading propaganda elsewhere, please. There are neonazis in Ukraine, as there are in most countries - conflating this with Nazis being 'everywhere' in a discussion about Russia's similarities to Nazi Germany in committing ethnic cleansing and potentially literal genocide is nothing but whataboutism and bothsidesism from someone pretending to be an enlightened centrist.
I'm not spreading propaganda or whatsoever, I'm just expressing my opinion.
I find ironical that Russians are being called nazis when it's not a secret that Ukraine has a neonazi problem of their own.
Every country has had neo-Nazis in the last 20 years. Only one of Russia and Ukraine has acted, as a political entity, similar to the actual Third Reich. You are engaging in literally textbook whataboutism.
"Russia, run by a charismatic fascist leader who murders and imprisons his enemies and suppresses minorities, is acting like Nazi Germany by invading another country on thin, false pretenses, and engaging in genocide and other atrocities."
"Oh yeah? Well, some Nazis live in Ukraine."
