The US didn't make Ukraine invade Russia to start the conflict. Instead, Russia (unprovoked) invaded Crimea and the Donbas in 2014.
I don't think Europe at all wants to have a fight with Russia. People just want Russia to stop attacking Ukraine.
Russia's relations with Europe were torn up by Russia, when they invaded Crimea and the Donbas in 2014.
2014 coup with installed US puppet government broke lease with Russian military port in Crimea, and began ethnic cleansing operation against its ethnic Russian minority. Russia pursued for 8 years a peaceful resolution through Minsk accords, which west used only as a delay tactic to arm Ukrainian nazi regime for war on Russia. To this day, EU/Canada losers desperately derail any peace in Ukraine and support nazi regime's perpetual terrorist operation rights. So, yes, all NATO colonies are trying to sell you prosperity through war on Russia, and doing so, based on the lies you repeat.
Ukraine's parliament democratically voted to remove Yanukovych from power. A new presidential election was held, and Poroshenko democratically won.
Please present evidence for this allegation. Russia claims Ukraine was committing genocide against ethnic Russians, but I've never seen any evidence for this claim. The UN's court said: "the Court is not in possession of evidence substantiating the allegation of the Russian Federation that genocide has been committed on Ukrainian territory".
Russia for years has tried to subjugate Ukraine. Why can't Russia just leave Ukraine alone? As for Ukraine being a "nazi regime", how is that true? Do you have evidence to show that Ukraine is systematically murdering Jews, like the Nazis did? No you don't. Zelenskyy himself is Jewish. If Ukraine were a Nazi state, they would have put Zelenskyy in a death camp, instead of electing him as president.
Black flag nazi shooting of protestors blamed on Yanukovych forced him to flee. US caught on tape installing new government. Poroshenko was backed by oligarchist media empire and US, and lost to nazi-lite peace promises from Zelensky. Even more than Canada, US puppet nazis were the only candidates that could win.
Nazi problem in Ukraine was western daily news post 2014. 15000 dead in Donbass. US congress even voted to stop direct funding of Azov Battalion, because it was too obvious.
Ukraine had volunteer SS divisions in WW2 (war criminals we give standing ovations to) that enthusiastically ran Jewish extermination camps for Germany, but also genocided other ethnic villages in west of Ukraine, while fighting Soviets (the core nazi ideology) with Germany. Post 2014 US puppet regime has ideology based on being the losing side of WW2. Just as white/christian supremacy in the US accepts/promotes Zionist/Israel first rule over the US, Zelensky's rule/survival depends on serving nazi/CIA establishment ambitions.
the basic history: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKcmNGvaDUs&list=PLNQnk4gBLrOQRsfoG3LV0AaFI1eMoo1VQ&rco=1
Poroshenko was elected by Ukrainians. Then Zelenskyy was elected in 2019.
"Nazi-lite" to me would mean some discrimination against Jews, without killing them all in camps, I suppose. What discrimination against Jews did Zelenskyy promise?
Wikipedia says that about 6,500 deaths were sustained by Russia's side during the war in the Donbas between 2014 and 2022. That's a military conflict though, NOT an ethnic genocide, as Russia claims. The reason the conflict happened is because Russian troops invaded the Donbas and tried to take over the area by force.
Like I said in my previous post: why can't Russia just leave Ukraine alone? Ukrainians seem to just want to live in peace without Russia trying to kill them or subjugate them.
Azov has had far-right connections. Russia has their own fighting units with far-right connections, like the Rusich Group. In neither case does that mean the government of either country is a Nazi government.
WW2 was a long time ago. Germany was a Nazi state at the time, but that doesn't mean Germany is a Nazi state now.
TLDR: You haven't provided evidence to show that Ukraine is a Nazi state which was committing "ethnic cleansing" or genocide of ethnic Russians. To me it seems those claims are nonsense. They seem to be complete fabrications, invented by the Kremlin to justify their imperialist invasion of Ukraine.
