Needless to say, I'd be surprised if the Polish message had been written by a native speaker. Reads like a sloppy translation.

I think that what my dear friend ag (I'm sure he still misses me) said on AAD contained a ton of truth. The suggestion that Ukraine is "fascist" or unambiguously "anti-Russian language" or anything like that is inane because Ukraine is so incohesive and so decentralized and so amorphous that lots of phenomena take place at the same time while failing to coalesce or become "dominant". It's a country in which all sorts of ways of life can find a way, and it is because of this that the country is so dysfunctional (and that competing oligarchs can steal the hell out of it), but it's also because of this that there is quite a bit of room for everyone to be able to think what they want to think and do what they want to do as long as they're not being too loud about it, and not a lot of tolerance for people unreasonably impeding other people's will (very few people are interested in actual fascists or communist revisionists). No one's going to care too much whether you speak Ukrainian or Russian. Life's difficult enough as it is.

Are the Ukrainians still pissed with Germany about the murderfest of WW2?

I watches a documentary on WW2 and there was a group called the Einsatzgruppen who were in the southern Ukraine in 1941.

Most of their activities were so formulated that a lot of Jewish citizens believed their charades right up until being executed.

I have never seen such atrocity.

Its a Russian nationalist meme that Ukrainians "supported" the Nazis in WW2.

Some did (out of genuine sympathy in some cases, "my enemy's enemy is my friend" calculations in others) but plenty did not, and quite a few Russians also collaborated in various ways.

From this article, that is honestly one of the best in English that I read.

And my question to Andriy is, do you honestly think, that Putin would dare to invade Ukraine with Trump in WH?

I don't think it would depend on who's in the White House anyway. Honestly, I am more than sure that Russia's actions have depended and continue to depend on who is the President of Ukraine. If Zelensky was not the President, but someone else (a professional politician, such as Poroshenko, Tymoshenko or even Boyko), the probability of an attack would be much lower, although for various reasons.

Do you truly believe that Zel is a Russian agent?
Whether or not you do think that - what criticisms do you have of him?

May I know the reason for the territorial claim of your map? It seems you included all Cossack areas. But to my knowledge not all Cossacks are Ukrainians. Cossack is a complex group of people with mixing ethnic and language.

 Why, and what are some of the various reasons?

The map is incorrect. It should comprise Lithuania, Ukraine stretches from the Black Sea to the Baltic Sea. Слава Україні!

I just reread this thread. Andriy's predictions were often scarily accurate, and the talk he provided on Ukrainian culture is informative and beautiful. I hope he his safe and alive right now, I know he said he was going to join the Territorial Defense. Thank you for everything you've told us and stay safe Andriy. Слава Україні!
