No one in the Donbass has been persecuted by Nazis, unless you mean the National Bolshevik Russians. Russia invaded in 2014. MEanwhile Ukraine elected a Jewish president and prime minister with 70% of the vote in 2019.

Nope. In the last year, KGB Russia helped its collaborationist regimes in Belarus and Kazakhstand murder pro-decomcracy protestors. Putin diesn't just want to rebuild the USSR, he has openly said that Ukraine doesn't really exist.
