i'll go first: our 17th prime minister one day vanished while swimming in the ocean and not only did none of his friends give a fuck, they started slapfighting immediately for who's gonna be his successor. no joke they didn't even let his body turn cold before the arguments began it was all so fucking funny.

Our parliament performed a standing ovation for a literal SS nazi because none of them seemed to remember which side of WW2 that Ukraine was fighting for.

There are many other examples of dumb bullshit.

there were several million ukrainians in the red army, including the highest positions. an unimaginable portion of them lost their lives defending their homeland from nazism and banderism. gun'ka and his gang of fascistremoveds and murderers were hated by the vast majority of the ukrainian population. only through the unrelenting efforts of western (including your governments) intelligence agencies after the illegal and undemocratic dissulusion of the ussr could a fascist dictatorship be established on ukrainian soil.
