Ukraine is not run by Nazis. While there are some far right and nationalist political groups in Ukraine, the government of Ukraine is not controlled by Nazis or any other extremist ideology.

In 2014, Ukraine underwent a revolution and change in government known as the Euromaidan, which led to the removal of the pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych. Some far-right groups, including the Right Sector, were involved in the protests that led to Yanukovych’s ousting. However, these groups did not seize power and were not able to establish a dominant position in the new government.

Ukraine’s current government is led by President Volodymyr Zelensky and Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, both of whom were elected through democratic elections. The Ukrainian government also includes members of various political parties, including those with left-wing and centrist ideologies.

• Ukraine is run by a Jewish man, who lost several of his uncles in the holocaust. His grandfather fought the Nazis in WWII. President Zelensky won an astounding 73% of the vote in 2019.
• Yes, there are neo-Nazis in Ukraine, just like there are neo-Nazis in America, Russia, Canada and everywhere else in the world.
• In Ukraine, just like most other nations, the neo-Nazis make up the fringe, far-right political party(s). In the most recent 2019 Ukrainian election, only 2% of the popular vote supported this far right group, compared to the 73% that supported the Jewish Zelensky.
• Only 1 member of the 450 member Ukrainian parliament represents the far-right Svoboda party that has some neo-Nazi views. None of the other representatives support Nazism in any form.

So if you are propagating the lie that America is helping fund Nazism or that Russia is “de-nazifying” Ukraine, you are spewing pure Russian propaganda and should be ashamed of yourself!
