Poroshenko was backed by the fascist elements, but only won in western Ukraine where the ultra nationalists are strongest as well as in the neighborhoods of Kyiv where the wealthiest live. Zelendky goet 73 percent of the vote and also happens to be Jewish. Building of monuments to fasicists is going on locally. Zelensky's government is clearly a big improvement over Poroshenko's on this matter, a straightforward fact not needing any apology.rosserjb@jmu.eduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09300046915843554101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-27192896446454831332019-09-14T12:34:21.294-04:002019-09-14T12:34:21.294-04:00Yes, there is a fascist element in Ukraine, as the...Yes, there is a fascist element in Ukraine, as there is in...<br /><br />[ What an awful apology.
