didn’t the far right parties get virtually no seats at the recent parliamentary elections in 2019 and overall are a small minority that doesn’t hold any power over the country?
also, even if this weren’t the case, i fail to see how an invasion and destruction of livelihoods of millions would do anything about it, besides probably stirring up more nationalistic movements 🤷♀️
The far right oligarchs who are working directly with US have been in control of the government. Meanwhile, you should take a look at the territories that are controlled by LPR and DPR right now, people aren’t exactly upset about it. You can see some interviews here. Ukraine has been in a civil war since the coup in 2014, the extremists US put in power have done things like banning the use of Russian language. This hasn’t played well with a huge Russian speaking population in the east.
People in the west don’t seem to actually understand much about Ukraine and treat it as some homogeneous blob as opposed to a large and culturally diverse country that it actually is.

Isn’t it the other way around in the donbass region, since ~2014?

People of Donbas decided to separate from Ukraine after 2014 coup, and that’s why there’s been an ongoing conflict this whole time.
