This is complete nonsense. Right-wing extremism is just as marginal in Ukraine as it is in other western democracies and is only being used as a justification for a war so that Putin can engage in ethnic cleansing to secure land strengthen his control of the Black Sea and oil and gas resources. It really doesn't look good that "conservatives" are expressing support for an obvious autocratic tyrant who wants to reconquer liberal democracies in order to reestablish a failed socialist empire.
I'm not saying there aren't neo-Nazi's in Ukraine, but trying to make it out like they have a significant role in society and politics, that the PM, who is Jewish, has their full approval and backing, and that Russia for some reason is justified in waging a war of ethnic cleansing in a foreign country because of a very small extremist element is indeed nonsense. Russia itself has had a serious neo-nazi problem and is even employing them to fight this war. You come across as a Russian troll or at least a sadly misinformed pro-Russian leftist.
