By pretty much all statics and reports I have seen, Ukrainian neo-nazi problem if massively smaller then Russian one. Every single country has some neonazi ... and Russia has a lot of them and in fairly powerful positions.

Ukraine is not celebrating Stalin the way Russia is celebrating Stalin. Ukraine was not forcibly closing organizations studying communists crimes or Stalin crimes, Russia did.

Ukraine did not moved to make gay or trans materials illegal. Meanwhile, arrests and violence against gays in Russia became quite a serious thing in Russia. Practically, being gay is criminalized.

Ukraine did not started wars with countries around it the way Russia repeatedly did.

I am not saying Ukraine is country of saints, but Russia is waay worst then that.

I will just say that when I lived in Ukraine, one of the "entertainments" for teens was to go find a group of gay people and get into a fight with them. Why? Just for fun. Russia has conservative values and their government works towards the propaganda of LGBT. They do not criminalize anyone for being a gay person. In fact, the same bill was proposed in Ukraine in 2011-12. While the bill did not pass, there are obvious cultural strings.
