I think it's worth noting that, prior to the war, the default position was "There are definitely Nazis in Ukraine and we should be concerned about that." The position changed to "There are no Nazis in Ukraine" on the day the invasion started and people have been flailing around since trying to figure out how to reconcile that against years of generally accepted reporting on the rise of the Ukrainian far-right.

It's super visible in the YouTube comments on Vice's video about the rise of neo-Nazis in Ukraine prior to the war. Any pre-war comments are basically "wow this is concerning, hope Ukraine finds a way to stop this", post-war comments are "wow vice is Putler propaganda now"

Ukraine never even tried, they like "this"
