Here’s the problem with this liberal talking point. Yes, the fascists were decisively rejected during the last election – they now control about 2% of seats in the Rada. However, members of the same far-right parties continue to hold high-ranking positions in the government and the military. Which explains why Zelenskyyyyyyyyyyyy, who was elected as a moderate, continues to be at their beck and call; before the Russian intervention, there was even talk of overthrowing him if he made peace with Russia.
