Spamming the same fake news?
We need a rule against posting nazi websites and yes, this is a nazi website and no, the Russians aren't the bad guys
Yes, you're right. There is no bad thing in killing and raping women, children and elder people, and there is no bad thing in bombing kindergartens, hospitals, and even theaters with the word "ДІТЕИ" written at the front.
Russians are not the ones waving SS symbols around, that's the Ukrainian Nazis, it's also the Ukrainians who are the ones attacking ethnic minorities and supporting dictators in the Middle-East
Ah yes, right wing nationalism is a problem exclusively in Ukraine. Russia invading a neighbour has nothing to do with Russification.

"Imma just say shit without backing it up"
Technically he is right with the latter, and there are minorities which get official status and lots of love from Ukraine's government, like Crimean Tatars (less native to Crimea than Greeks and Armenians, despite the name), and there are those who get less of that (Greeks, Armenians, also Poles and Hungarians). I mean, Russian and Ukrainians policies on minorities are kinda similar.
Russia is democratic nation?
Of course! They vote regularly! Sometimes even double the population of a city is voting!
Do you have proof they are Nazis?
Nazis famously elect Jewish leaders, so there's one
Not that funny really. A Nazi is a person following a certain ideology, which takes only one level of generalization to imagine a Jewish Nazi being Nazi to Germans, Poles and Frenchmen. One level is not that much.
And references to German Conservative symbols are kinda popular among Ukrainian nationalists. Poverty and shitty education through the years of independence do that. Not much different from Russia itself or many other former Soviet republics (somehow European, of course, it's hard to imagine a Nazi Uzbek or Tajik, but Tajik nationalists love Achaemenid empire and Samanid kingdom very much) or even former Warsaw Pact countries.
