I highly respect how Ukraine and their officials are handling this. Putin makes personal accusations such as "Nazi's and drug addicts". When you look at the Ukrainian president, he is always very positive, towards his own people, towards Russian citizen. He doesn't throw random insults at Putin. This site again shows their humanity and class. Nothing but respect for them.

The choice of branding a country where both the head of state and the head of government are Jewish as a Nazi regime was an odd one…

  American talking heads call actual Jewish people Nazis all the time. It's literally blood libel.

    Bandera wasn’t a Nazi he was a Ukrainian (“ultra”) nationalist he did tried to work with the Nazis to secure Ukrainian independence however he was arrested by the Gestapo and sent to a bloody concentration camp. He was a way justifies the means type of guy he fought against the Polish to secure Ukrainian independence then against the Bolsheviks and Communists. Branding him as a Nazi is honestly insulting both to him and to anyone who actually suffered under actual Nazis. Jacobin is a rag I wouldn’t rely on a single word they print.
