What you have to ask yourself is - why in every story do you only see wonderful, sweet, loving, astoundingly brave Ukraines doing fantastic things?
In North Korea, China, Vietnam, Cuba, etc you see the same thing - great, amazingly brave, altruistic and kind citizens are the only kind you’ll find in those countries.
And, as in Ukraine, everyone is just wild about their wise and courageous Fearless Leader. Not even one dissenter. (well, other than the ones who are banned and/or imprisoned by the, but that’s just nitpicking).
Why do you suppose this is so?
Careful, your critical thinking skills are showing.
I didn’t particularly see the Uke who tagged a partially disabled Russian tank and blew a guy trying to get out about 300 ft. into the air as particularly wonderful, sweet, loving, etc. And he (the shooter) would have probably preferred to be home.
But, he did what was necessary. And for all I know he beats his wife.
On the other side are plenty of what seem to be quite nice, some even sweet people in Russia posting their experiences (for many years until now, so, I take them as genuine.)
Maybe you only look far enough to find that which triggers your own bias.
