Similarly to the fucked up, twisted irony that descendants of the Holocaust were modern pioneers of settler-colonialism and ethnic cleansing in Palestine, it's completely and utterly fucked that Eastern Europe has fallen so deeply into the grip of fascism. It's true that the Ukrainians were treated somewhat differently out of pragmatic considerations by the Nazis, but they were still considered 'Untermenschen'.

It's especially galling when the Ukraine was the economically best off part of the Soviet Union, and center of incredible culture, science, technology. But you don't see these fucks praising an iota of what was unequivocally the best time to be alive in Ukrainian history. Because they don't care about the quality of life of ordinary people. They're predatory, nihilistic death-cultists who should be wiped from the face of the earth.

History often has a sick sense of humor.

What I don't get is why the GOP is siding with Russia? I'm dumb, shouldn't they be supporting Ukraine?

Fuck all Nazis, regardless of country. That being said, "denazification" was a disgusting lie told by an imperialist who has plenty of Nazi's living in his own country to deal with so he could commit cultural genocide.

I often see criticism of Ukraine lumped in with Russian justifications for invasion, in which case, the war is also warping your views.

The US got heat from other supporters of Ukraine for that even. Russia is also using them. Further cause to support peace negotiations.

Especially because the actual reason Russia invaded wasn't over any concern about ethnic Russians in Ukraine (that's literally one of the oldest bullshit excuses for war) was to prevent NATO from being on it's borders, and now Finland and Sweden have joined, so Russia's already lost the geopolitical battle. All they're fighting for now is dirt.
