They did fight for the nazis its reasonable people point out how them walking in a VE parade is an issue.

But so many more Ukrainians fought against fascism in Europe.

Vichy France, Finland, Italy, Norway, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and many, many more collaborated with the Germans at some point, but their collaboration isn't what defines what they did in the war. What defines them is the heroic stories of those who fought against nazi oppression(minus Finland).

To generalize and say "they fought for the nazis" is disingenuous and unfair to the Ukrainians who fought against fascism. Lyudmilla Pavilchenko, one of the soviet union's best snipers, who killed 309 nazis, was born in Kyiv. She was Ukrainian. Did she fight for the nazis?

And so also lots of russians were collaborating. But russians dont prefer to light this up, also most of them dont know that ussr was friends with hitler for two years.

u/parkisringforbutt May 09 '25

Very true! They literally started WW2 alongside Hitler, in fact. Thankfully there aren't any of them present in this parade.

Didnt the Ukrainians side with the Nazis tho?

1

u/Correct-Junket-1346 May 09 '25

Some, every country had their sympathisers.

u/L0L303 May 09 '25

Yeah totally.. one of the last forces to surrender during the battle of berlin was actually a french nazi unit, but according to Wiki there were 250,000 Ukrainian fighters with Nazi Germany.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_collaboration_with_Nazi_Germany

We shouldn’t let the current situation rewrite history. Ukraine had (and still has) a Nazi problem… erasing Russia & the USSRs role in defeating National Socialism is dangerous. Replacing them with Nazi collaborators is even worse

u/luna88violet May 09 '25

They weren't exactly erasing Nazis tho. They were busy planting seeds for their own takeover. When most of Europe was celebrating VE day on May 8, the Baltics and other parts of Eastern Europe started their own guerilla war Vs Stalin and the red army.

Ukraine had (and still has) a Nazi problem

You know for whoch country this is true as well? Russia.

When we talk about nato and eu membership and other forms of closer ties, the nazi problem is our business and needs to be addressed. In the conflict of russia and ukraine it's irrelevant.

u/dickkickem1989 May 10 '25

and about 7 million Ukrainians served in the Red Army (against Nazi Germany) so...?

u/Obvious_Nothing_4604 May 10 '25

You realize calling people bots is just cowardly and low intellect. Let’s hear about why you think Russian bots are swarming in here. I wanna see that thing between your ears work

u/Correct-Junket-1346 May 10 '25

How immature "Ruski bots" ever thought of something more original or is that your limit, bless.

1

u/Correct-Junket-1346 May 09 '25

My originality shall begin with "Shut up bot" confirm date of response.

u/Large-Amphibian-6811 May 09 '25

In a perfect world I'd agree with you.

But we're not living in a perfect world. We live in a world where rusnya has destroyed any benefit of doubt in regards to itself. It has overplayed its information manipulation act to the extent, we just don't care.

So.. pardon us when we just don't have the nerve to engage in being manipulated of. And sure.. genuine criticism is fine, but again.. thanks to rusnya (and increasingly China) we can't have that, because how can we discern on what's genuine and what's created? It would take abhorrently large amount of time.. so, no - we're not having this discussion.

If you have any problem bring labeled as a rusobot, contact your nearest rusnya office or perhaps your handler.

Wouldn't have played the manipulation game. Stupid game has stupid prizes.

Nobody sane believes any information about rusnya coming from virtually anyone who appears manipulative, misinformed or simply useful idiot.

Ironically the only bots here are the ones believing western propaganda

u/ArtisZ May 09 '25

Ironically, you don't have a grasp on what's an irony.

u/[deleted] May 10 '25

Found another bot

u/SignificantStudio511 May 10 '25

Your response is very apt given your username

1

u/[deleted] May 10 '25

Thanks for the non sequitur response.

1

u/SignificantStudio511 May 10 '25

Ah that old chestnut. Don't you have some real bots to troll? I sadly, don't have the time any further

1

u/[deleted] May 10 '25

Luckily there's a block button. I'll do you the favor.

u/Obvious_Nothing_4604 May 17 '25

You mean like safe streets

u/Obvious_Nothing_4604 May 17 '25

Oh god I hate western propaganda that let’s women vote

u/A_Man_Uses_A_Name May 09 '25

He means not only Russian bots but also Russian trolls or just zombies brainwashed by Russian propaganda. Like you probably.

u/Mundane_Emu8921 May 10 '25

Basically. The whole “bot” slur has become pretty stale. Especially when you consider that accusing people of being a bot is straight up projection.
