It’s only a hidden history because the NATO news engine buried the lede and treated the diplomatic negotiations as Russian propaganda

Putin and Zelensky surprised everyone with their mutual willingness to consider far-reaching concessions to end the war. They might well surprise everyone again in the future.

Western Cope. That ship sailed when you ignored his offer. Why would he make a similar offer after winning the war? Lunacy.

Exactly, this was the state of the world two years ago, a lot changed since.

Second, the drafts contain several articles that were added to the treaty at Russia’s insistence but were not part of the communiqué and related to matters that Ukraine refused to discuss. These require Ukraine to ban “fascism, Nazism, neo-Nazism, and aggressive nationalism”—and, to that end, to repeal six Ukrainian laws (fully or in part) that dealt, broadly, with contentious aspects of Soviet-era history, in particular the role of Ukrainian nationalists during World War II.

LOL all Ukraine had to do was repudiate Bandera and they fucking balked over that.

It is easy to see why Ukraine would resist letting Russia determine its policies on historical memory

Yeah, it is easy to see why Ukraine won’t just allow a foreign power to dictate their policies on—checks notes—banning Nazism.

But, anyway, Z is Jewish, Azov denounced its Nazi past a long time ago, and all those mainstream media reports in the West about there being a neo-Nazi problem in pre-2022 Ukraine were really just Russian propaganda, so this is all just a coincidence.

Sure, it’s a “hidden history” now when a week ago it was still misinformation. I am so tired of this shit.
