Apparently libs think saying what's happening is "startling by anyone’s standards".

“There will always be a radical segment of Ukrainian society that will call any negotiation capitulation,” he said. “The far right in Ukraine is growing. The right wing is a danger to democracy.”

And then...

Another brigade commander, Maksym Zhorin, accused Marezhko of having no idea what he was talking about, saying in no uncertain terms that yes, in fact, negotiations on Russia’s conditions would always be seen as capitulation.

It's hard to find media coverage of it, but I'm pretty sure every Ukrainian city (including Kiev) are policed by neo-nazis. When the war started there was chaos, because the Ukrainian government decided to give an AK to anyone who asked. In the cities neo-nazi groups started keeping "law and order", now they have uniforms. AZOV started as a "special task police force" in 2014. Nazis policing is not a new concept for Ukraine.

The TCC is almost 100% all nazis. People wonder "who could do that to people, shove them in vans and kidnap them for the front?" Nazis, that's who. Those are the people with a vested interest in the war continuing and they need cannon fodder. It's sickening.

Who controls the streets, controls the country. I have heard from several Ukrainian refugees that they left because they got sick of the open nazism in their city.

The threat about taking down the government is not an idle threat. They have done it once before, in 2014. Neo-nazis are in control of Ukraine and they will be a problem for Europe down the line. Especially when the threat is ignored and downplayed: "Ukraine’s far-right fringe remains a sensitive topic in the war-torn country".

Liberals: Nazi-enablers since 1933.

If this kind of messaging is not some semblance of regret, then what else might it be?

Distancing. Same as it was with other reactionary regimes that were helped into power - see Afghanistan for example. They'll pretend it wasn't the CIA and Wall Street and pentagon doing all that shit, they were totally just helping democracy, bro, and then those far right nazis just showed up out of nowhere!

My other take is that it might be a pretext for a western invasion of Ukraine under the guise of “stopping the far-right and restoring democracy”

Which would follow nicely from what I've described above. Just like in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yugoslavia, and many others
