Parts of Ukraine initially welcomed the Nazis. Why? Because Stalin was so cruel.

All Hitler had to do was to have a puppet Ukraine State, not unlike Slovakia, and most Ukrainians would have supported it, and many might have been willing to fight for the Germans.

Yep. Finland fought on the side of the Nazis for the same reason.

Anything looks good after you have been under Russian rule for a few decades. (Which is why Ukraine and the other Soviet satellites have rushed to our embrace.)
