Your take suffers from a surplus of subjectivity and a shortage of objectivity. Conveniently, you elide the plight of the Russian minority population in the Donbass since 2014, subjected to indiscriminate artillery attacks for the 'crime' of opposing a coup govt in Kiev, underpinned by Russophobia and driven by those nationalist and Neo-Nazi elements, determined to retake the Donbass by force, regardless of Minsk, etc.

Bandera was a fascist and a Nazi collaborator in WWII, involved in some of the most henious atrocities against Ukrainian Jews, Poles and other deemed untermensch by him and his followers. The SS Galicia was a Ukrainian SS division and the Ukrainian Auxiliary Police were established by Himmler to play a key role in the murder of Jews and other minorities.

Facts don't care about your feelings.
