Given that the Soviets brutally murdered around 8 million Ukrainians in the 1930s, it is not surprising that many Ukrainians initially viewed the Axis forces as liberators when they invaded the USSR in 1941.

Very true.

It is also true that most of the brutality of the Soviets during the suppression of the Ukrainians after the Russian Revolution came at the hands of largely Jewish Soviet Komissars.

That led many of them to willingly participate in the extermination of the Jewish population in Ukraine.
