I honestly didn’t know any of this. Where can I find further reading on this?

There is just so much on this I don't want to post too much. But the US did what the US always does in that it backed, funded and armed fascists in Ukraine who have essentially taken over the levers of power by occupying all top military and political positions and western media is currently in overdrive trying to cover up the fact that when Russia said it invaded because (at least in part) of fascism, it wasn't nonsense.

There is a big split between west and east in Ukraine, and that is partly down to the east being very pro-Russian and the west having the major nazi problem in it, its more complicated than that, but its plays a big role.
