What Russia is doing is horrible. War crimes and all. However I wouldn’t go so far as call them nazis, think it dampens that metaphor when it’s over used.

Russia feels NATO expansion is too close to their doorstep, he warned many times and this is the outcome.

Obviously not condoning it, and it’s many millions of lives displaced and tens of thousands lost. Generations will be effected.

Russia using the excuse of nazis in Ukraine, and the need to free the Ukrainian people is a tall tail. Though there is a small amount of truth, of actual nazis existing in some of the armed forces of Ukraine [0]. But by no means justifies what’s been done.

Oh, I see, the ones you call actual nazis, that would be the far-right hooligans with some tattoos or whatever that every single country in the world has? And the ones you wouldn't go as far as calling them nazis, that would be the completely innocent and harmless Russian dudes, invariably sent into Ukraine unawares, thinking it was just some military drills, or liberating people from evil banderites, or both at the same times apparently, the same completely harmless Russian dudes whose only teeny tiny little fault is that they for some reason can't help but commit genocide and other war crimes on a scale unseen in almost 80 years? Did I get that right?
