Over the years, I’ve read several books about that region and it’s history. Its history is very complex. Yes, many Ukrainians fought alongside the Nazis - and committed atrocities. And yes (as I mentioned yesterday), many more of them - several millions - were part of the Red Army fighting the Nazis - ethnic Ukrainians making up as much as 50% of the Red Army’s officer corp. As for your surprise as to why I’m shocked by this current war…. I think anyone who knows anything about that part of the world is shocked. My understanding is that Ukraine was a weak democracy - and their radical elements, with a lot of support, were able to become a militarized, well organized, true power in the country.
