The key city of Pokrovsk is being evacuated as heavily outnumbered Ukrainian soldiers find their comrades’ success across the border is doing nothing to relieve the strain
She would resent getting saved from being murdered by Nazis?
Like sure she may have been disgruntled having her life upended in the moment but surely she wouldn’t still be holding that grudge 40 years later given what they were going to do to her if she hadn’t been put on that train. This comment just reads like Nazi apologia.
So now the city is being “invaded” to stop the same sort of pogroms she faced back then, except this time the “invaders” are Russian so now it’s their fault? what the hell are you even saying?
I don’t think someone who was rescued by the Red Army as a child is likely to be a rabid fascist
As commrade pepperoni stated, pending any photos of her shrine to Bandera, she is probably someone who is very understandably a bit incensed by the war unfolding in her part of the world,with the front lines rapidly approaching her home
Not running defense for the Azov battalion here,but the average citizen of this region has been so thoroughly trounced repeatedly since the nineties that they’re bound to have these kinds of opinions, especially considering that the frontline is advancing closer and closer to home
I mean,I have seen a glimpse of what this war looks like in real life and I think even regardless of my opinions now,if the war would move to my home,id have a hard time being a ok with the people dropping bombs on my town,even if my government is horrible and captured by western interests

I wouldn’t expect her to see it that way. Imagine the propaganda you’re bombarded with living in Ukraine

My comment or the old lady’s? My point is that I wouldn’t expect historically nuanced takes from random civilians in this situation.

This is assuming the old lady in question does not have a giant Bandera shrine in her house or something, in which case fuck her
