Ukraine has a massive Nazi problem but the West doesn't care because they hate Russia more.

You haven't provided any facts to back up that claim (just like the Russian government usually does), so I'll just say that reality unfortunately disagrees with.

Okay, I just don't leave it that, because here's a fact: The ultranationalist "Svobod" party which notoriously was a junior member in the Ukrainian government back in 2014, has held only a single seat in the 450-member strong Ukrainian parliament since the last legislative election in 2019.

I understand that some propagandists take it too far and try to imply that the Ukrainian population are Nazi supporters, but elections results prove nothing about which ideologies are disproportionately represented among the people holding the guns, in this instance the Ukrainian military, I won't claim to know where 5 percent are Nazi or 10 or 50 percent, but that images with symbols like the black sun are still unintentionally released by the western media despite Ukrainian friendly western journalists having every motive for scrubbing them means that enough exist for a few to seep though the cracks, implying that a problem of some sort exists, the Russians may be hypocritical considering own military's Nazi problem, but that does not change that people would rightfully be screaming blood murder if troops in any other western country were confident enough to flaunt their Nazism like happens in Ukraine. it's tempting to ignore this now, but I can't help but worry about what will happen to them afterwards assuming Ukraine emerges from this war intact. To use a more local example the vast majority of LA county votes Democratic, but of course nobody would dare claim that the police represent the county ideologically.

Sweeden gets to join NATO imminently, while Turkey get unwritten promisies to support the reopening of negotiations to join the EU, (not actually joining it) at some point in the future. A face saving, but unambiguous defeat for Erdogan.
