Russia can claim whatever they like. They started this war. They started it in 2014 and they have escalated in 2022. Ukrainian Nazis weren't and aren't a big issue, certainly not as big as in Russia. The claims that Ukraine was suppressing 'Russian minorities' were completely fabricated. And why is it that that all post-soviet nations seem to be awfully eager to join NATO? Curious. It's almost as if they fear being annexed by Russia. Luckily Russia isn't currently fighting a war of aggression to annex a former soviet country, right?
