@Zzer0 The first article matches none of the pictures. The BBC one from 2014 says that the far right movement is extremely small: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-30414955 >Ever since Ukraine's February revolution, the Kremlin has characterised the new leaders in Kiev as a "fascist junta" made up of neo-Nazis and anti-Semites, set on persecuting, if not eradicating, the Russian-speaking population. >This is demonstrably false. Far-right parties failed to pass a 5% barrier to enter parliament, although if they had banded together, and not split their vote, they would have probably slipped past the threshold. >Only one government minister has links to nationalist parties - though he is in no way a neo-Nazi or fascist. And the speaker of parliament, Volodymyr Groysman, is Jewish. He has the third most powerful position in the country after the president and prime minister.

@Zzer0 Also, the entire media has barely mentioned Ukraine in the last 3 years. They talked about them when Russia invaded Crimea in 2014 (like the BBC article), then barely ever until people started worrying they would be invaded (like the Euronews article).

@Zzer0 I'm not. The media is awful. I'm pointing out that your picture is misleading. You're becoming what you claim to hate. The way to fight lies isn't to spread more lies.

Are any of these news outlets from the US? The only icon I can make out is BBC, which is British.

There's nuance to things. Factions of nazis took part in fighting and some remained in positions of power, but many others in positions of power did not have affiliation with them. Without going too deep into anything, I've spent too much time with these things as is. Headlines are bad at nuance.
