You must remember what Putin and his supporters mean by “neo-Nazi.” It is any nationalist Ukrainian who views the Ukrainian identity as distinct from the Russians. The ultimate goal of Putin and his fellow Russian nationalists is the reabsorption of Ukraine back into Russia. This, and not NATO expansion, is what is driving this war.

🤔 I find that hard to believe. That seems to ignore Europe's determined interests almost completely... Russia has always viewed Ukraine as a satrapy, but never sought to just absorb its identity... ❓❓❓
