I got in touch with a friend from uni who now lives in the EU and he’s asking me for evidence of the far-right problem in Ukraine’s government and military. This has been so evident to me for a while now that I don’t have anything off the top of my head. Can anyone provide any quick links that are a good introduction for a newbie?

    Obviously ukraine has a far right problem, but in what context has it become such an important topic in your debate, if i may ask?

      We reconnected after a year and I asked how he was doing and he brought up that he was worried about the war reaching his country. He said he would fight and then asked me if I would and I said no because I wouldn’t fight for the unjust side. And then it proceeded from there. So he brought it up not me. I’m not just trying to push it on him.

      He’s hasn’t really been taking anything I sent him very seriously. He’s arguing in bad faith and cherry-picking things out of context, and blatantly ignoring the genocide that has been happening in the Donbas for the last eight years. I called him out on it and asked him what he had to say about that but he hasn’t responded. I’ve been very civil so either I finally got him and he’s reflecting or he’s given up and thinks I’m crazy.
