Dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective.
A tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves "socialist". The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays they are just terminally online, denying genocides, and falling for totalitarian propaganda and calling such regimes "true democracies". remember to censor usernames when necessary.

That still seems like a lot of Nazis.
Not to discount it as a problem.. but a lot of Eastern Europe has this issue. Hell, not even just Eastern Europe. Fascist parties exist in most places, Ukraine does not really stand out in this aspect.
Example of fascist party: United Russia
The Nazis get 19% in France, nobody suggests that it's ok to invade France.
I feel like the nazis would
Wait you're right. Why aren't we invading France?! /s
It is. But there's even more white supremacists in Russia, including many prominent government officials.
Ukraine has a legit problem with Nazis yes. Russia has no room to judge, however.
It is and something that needs to be dealt with. But the issue is much worse in surrounding countries like Russia. Hell, one of the puppets Russia installed in DPR was a Nazi.
