Ukraine is fighting for their continued independent existence. They know that, if they lose, they will be the victims of genocide (as those in occupied lands have encountered).

Crimea, lugansk, Donetsk, mariupol is all business as usual. Ukrainians care neither about Ukraine government nor Russian government. They just want the war to end regardless of which oligarch is ruling over then.

The fierce resistance the Ukrainians are providing would appear to indicate they very much do care about who is ruling over them.

Yeah, they pretty much had a choice, no? I mean, they were allowed to leave the country, right? right? oh but atleast they could voice their frustration by joining opposition parties? right? Oh well but atleast the good comedian has made Ukraine far more tolerant of LGBTQ, right? oh...

They are in a war, its not at all surprising they have closed the border to people leaving there country is literally having a crisis over its very existence.

They banned the pro Russian parties, which is totally reasonable given the current invasion by Russia, you can join any of the other political parties that aren't pro trying to actively wipe Ukraine off the map.

What does this have to do with anything?.

You didn't get my point.

In all these places the ukrainians are back to work. There are live webcams on the internet if you want to watch these places.

Mostly by the extreme far right azov regiment. Which were banned from receiving any funds from US till Obama administration. Trump overturned it.

Yes for most, then occasionally things explode with the occupiers on board, I suspect being a mayor or high up position of an occupation government in occupied Ukraine is one of the deadliest jobs in the world at the moment.

The entire country and army is providing fierce resistance. But if you want to talk about far fight extremists why dont we talk about Wagner who was led, by a man with literal swastikas and other nazi imagery tattooed on him until he exploded in mid air.

could you provide a link to one of the images showing the leader of wagner with swastikas and such?

Is a picture of Dmitry Uktin, who founded Wagner with his Nazi tattoo's.

There was lots of talk about him not being part of Wagner anymore then surprise surprise he dies in the aircraft carrying Yevgeny Prigozhin and other Wagner high ups and is later seen in videos with Yevgeny Prigozhin in Africa this year.
