Yeah, ukraine does have a non-zero facist problem. The country does deserve valid criticism.
I just wish Russia supporters would stop using it as justification for the invasion. The denazification propoganda as a false flag for “putin wants to restore the old USSR by invading a sovereign nation” is insanely annoying, and means any valid criticism is drowned out by wondering if it’s far right Russia Today talking points.
Ukraine invaded Russian Donbass in February. https://tass.com/politics/1401297
Tass is russian controlled state media, and it’s not wise to trust direct Ukrainian Government or Russian Government sources during wartime.
Is there a clear source on the ceasefire violations? Like is the OSCC report reliable? Most news spurces seem to be a bunch of “Russia did it first / Ukraine did it first” accusations like the one here:
TASS is referring to an OSCE report, OSCE is the Euro-American organization in charge of monitoring the ceasefire. They have been accused of collaborating with Ukraine and arrested after the war started but their reports before show ceasefire violations by Ukraine.

Zelensky has said that he never intended to follow the Minsk ceasefire and said so to Der Spiegel. Other Euorpean leaders like Angela Merkel and Francois Hollande have made it clear they used Minsk just to buy Ukraine time.
