Having had the displeasure of speaking to some Ukrainians before, I can tell you they share the same views on race and ethnicity as some 19th century racialists. One straight up told me that people of different cultures have inherent racial "essences" and that ethnic Russians are just inherently bad because of that. 0 material analysis or understanding of how they ended up where they are today, just falling completely back on Nazi/Zionist-esque race science.

On top of that, Zelenskyy is a Zionist that would like Ukraine to be a "Big Israel". The man is also a comprador. I knew from day one when I heard the West praising a guy I had never before heard of in my entire life that it was all bullshit without even looking into it further. Plus, the fact that the local right-wing pro-Israel parties were ride or die for Ukraine was also an early sign for me that I was right to be skeptical.
