I really hate to say it, but makes it feel like not everything that Putin said was a lie.

Good propaganda does not work on "entirely lies". In order to be more believable, it contains some shreds of truth and also some omissions.

Bandera was not a nice person, but neither were the Russian rulers whom the current Russian government lionizes as great people. As for Nazism in general, Wagner Group was founded by an actual Nazi.

It all boils down to Lenin's "Who? Whom?"

>Bandera was not a nice person

Neither was Hitler

what specifically, though? Did Putin actually say it? Did Putin also say something contradictory to it?

what about not-believing something from the Ukranian government makes Putin more trustworthy?

The best bullshit always has a little bit of truth mixed in. Still not a justification for invading, and still just a cover for his, and Russia's overall, imperialistic ambition.

Duh? Ukraine is a big place for Nazis. Funnily enough, so is Russia (and if black metal is any indication, Finland). This is not exactly news.

edit: I’d appreciate comments explaining why I’m wrong besides drive by downvotes.
