Not sure why this is being downvoted when it’s actually true. Two things can be the truth at the same time. The Ukrainians are valiantly fighting to free their country but they have a sordid history with Nazism (there are also Neo-Nazi battalions currently fighting against the Russians)
because they are nazis, that's why they're downvoting
There's another truth: ethnic Russians were being massacred after the Maidan and every single one of them received Russian troops with open arms.
Because it's a propaganda site.
LMBO, no no they're not. They were already free, until the empire engineered a coup in 2014 to overthrow their elected government and install a genocidal nazi regime. Russia is currently fighting to liberate ethnic Russians from the oppressive vassal state but also the Ukrainian people at large
Is there a good source you could provide so I could throw it at libs?

I really thought it'd be more buried
How can people downvote literal history facts? Even when this coup was correctly covered by NATO states back then as a fascist one. People forgot apparently
