You claim they dont represent the larger population yet it takes a lot more than a few hundred votes to elect their leader to parliament and the Ukraine was the only country in the world other than the United States, to vote against a United Nations resolution to combat the glorification of neo-nazis and then their President, Zelenski wears a Nazi Iron cross emblem on his t-shirt when addressing the U.S. Congress. Why do you think he would do that in the face of all the controversy about the neo-nazi threat in Ukraine? Do you think Zelenski just did not know what the Iron Cross represents in the eyes of the world? I think you are choosing to ignore the obvious.

Seriously? You're really taking that pro-Russian bait hook, line and sinker? There are numerous military cross symbols that have been used by Westerners since the 8th century, in various countries. The latest emblem of the Ukraine armed forces dates to 1991: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armed_Forces_of_Ukraine Ukraine has been run by pro-Russian politicians for most of those 30 years. Even if a few thousand people like the neo-Nazi movement, they've not had any power, and nothing justifies Putin's war crimes. Ukrainians suffered the most in WWII, and are again suffering, in both cases due to foreign fascist authoritarians.

No. You are one taking that anti-Russian propaganda bait and swallowing it hook line and sinker. You might want to stop blindly believing the pathological liars that call themselves news media in this country and listen to the people who actually live there and have seen with their eyes what has been going on in Ukraine for the last 8 years like Russian athlete Maryana Naumova who has been in Donbass more than 20 times in the last few years working with schoolchildren in over 100 schools there. Let her tell you what she has seen in Ukraine.

Right - so let's cherrypick biased straw man arguments about one person or another. You can observe for yourself the raw videos of the slaughter of Ukrainians and carpet bombing of cities, prompted ONLY by Putin's insane fantasy that the USSR should return. Just look....
