You doing the propaganda work for a regime that tells their people that they were fighting "the Nazi regime in Kiev" to ensure their loyalty.

My ancestors were also (if you don't just plainly lie about that fact, too) Huguenots and they would have not wanted you to cite them in this context after the had to leave their country not unlike millions of Ukrainian people have to right now.

So, wherever you lost that insight, I'd recommend to pick it up again and recognize the irony in you propagating the Kremlin's world view.
