Can you get that through your naive brain?
No, because claiming that Ukraine has a "serious" (what is this even supposed to mean?) problem despite all evidence to the contrary is not going to convince anyone.
Does Ukraine have far-right elements? Sure, every country does. But unlike quite a few countries, those have little influence in the country. The serious problem Ukraine is currently faced with is the war of Russian agression. If far-right elements were a serious problem , they would have won either 2015 or 2019, because they could have used the injustice of Russia's agression and swept on a wave of resentment into office. Instead, the "fascist" Ukraine elected a native Russian speaker with Jewish roots who promised to peacefully settle the conflict with Russia.
What surprises me is how civilized the discourse in Ukraine still is after 10 years of agression, when it comes to Russia compared to the mad, hatefilled ravings of Putin, Medvedev and what is broadcasted in Russian propaganda talkshows. That is admireable indeed and to slander them like you do is just in poor taste.

Since the Russian invasion started, Russia has lost 3722 tanks, 11720 combart vehicles, 151 helicopters, 28 naval ships and submarines, 3819 trucks and logistical vehicles, 446 towed artillery, 134 aircraft. The list goes on. Russia can afford to throw its' men away, but those Soviet stockpiles are more difficult to replace.
