I don't like these accusations sometimes coming from Russian media about various ex Soviet republics inhabitants being nazis and fascists etc. Doesn't seem fair or reasonable to bring up events from the War... So I thought it was exaggerated and rather irritating that they'd sink so low as to bring this up.

But then I saw pictures of some kind of Ukrainian organisation with people who had actually styled uniforms emblems on a swastika, making nazi salutes and certainly giving the impression of actually being Nazis.... Not to mention things they were saying.
Loitering around the "Maidan" and pestering people.
Pretty shocking. Real nazis involved in a coup d'etat.

Nobody in Germany ought to support anybody involved with that (yes mrs merkel) since it's strictly illegal there to have anything to do with Nazism. But several German ministers have gone to Ukraine and cheered these people on. And now they are going to treat Julia Timoshenko for some unspecified illness.

I shouldn't be blabbering about this though, because I really don't know enough about the background, the events themselves, or what would be the best way forward. So I'll shut up and read what those with more insight have to say.
