Putin, before the "special military operation", spoke of the necessary denazification of Ukraine, but also of Ukrainian genocide against Russians [Ukrainians speaking the Russian language]. Apparently the logic works like this :

• The nation of Ukraine fundamentally does not exist
• They worship Bandera (arguably, but he was named Hero of the Nation in 2010), who was a Nazi
• THEREFORE they are Nazis, and inherit the moral responsibility for the genocide against Russians in the Great Patriotic War.

It all makes sense, finally. For a while, I was worried that Putin was clinically insane.

Rambling about genocide, holocaust, fratricide, massacre, war deaths as if these are interchangeable.
