We're kept being told that Ukrainians want to fight, but the reality is that the Ukrainian regime is forcing people to fight against their will. This is what the west is supporting in Ukraine.

The term "Slava Ukraini" originated from a far right theorist back in the 1910s and was frequently used by far right nationalist groups and Nazi organizations. In particular, "The greeting "Glory to Ukraine!(Slava Ukraini) Glory to the heroes!" became an official slogan of Stepan Bandera's Nazi-allied OUN-B in April 1941. During World War II, Ukrainian nationalists often used it in addition to a roman salute."

The comment above is promoting fascism.

Every country has a far right nationalistic group. That by no means is justification for invading a sovereign national and slaughtering its people.

What is the context of the phrase now? Context is everything and you can't just point at the history books and twist the meaning of what someone said.

Languages change and morph over time. They always have.

The context is that this phrase is commonly used by neonazis and the far right in Ukraine today. Stop trying to whitewash fascists, it's not a good look.

Can I also not make the ok symbol because some dumbfucks are using it for other purposes?
