Ukraine has an excellent Nazi propoganda machine, but their choice of swords to fall on, e.g. Kursk, make it all for naught.
5000 pieces of combat equipment, 70,000 KIA, 125,000 WIA followed by a rout where Russia inflicted 11-1 KIA on Ukraine cannot be covered up.
Narrative control, maintaining and finessing, has been a feature of this world for sometime now. Propaganda is done by all governments, for that is was it is. Ukraine's is no different, and when looking at corruption and more, the argument that they are "better" than Russia is like arguing that the Crips are "better" than the Bloods.
When offered a debate stance of "either-or," many times the best response is "neither."
