The "Ukrainian Nazi" thing is kinda dumb, considering Right Sector won only about 1% of the national vote in the last two elections, and Ukrainians elected a Russian-speaking Jew as their president. Ukraine is about as anti-nazi as European countries come 👇🏻
What Russian propaganda plays on is the "nationalism" angle. Ukrainians are nationalist, meaning they want to be a separate nation, not part of Russia. But Russia knows Americans think "nationalist = Nazi" so they play up that angle. Also Russians call anyone they don't like or want to attack "Nazi." Russia/USSR has been doing it since the end of WW2. Where do you think the woke leftist movement got the idea from?
As for the escalation of the conflict, Ross invaded Donbass and Luhansk in 2014, then asked for ceasefire Minsk agreement violated it, asked for a second one, and violated it too. Ukraine was building up troops because Russia was building up troops and threatening to invade. That's expected when you're living next to a hostile country that keeps saying they want to force you back under their control.
