The city of Kharkov (Kharkiv) was subject to its first occupation during the war (24 October 1941), which lasted until 16 February 1943. The city never became part of Reichskommissariat Ukraine because of its proximity to the front. The staff of the LV Army Corps acted as the occupational authority, using 57.ID as an occupation force.
Their insignia definitely reminds me of an iteration of the SS logo
but your "nazi card" has been declined
to be honest all i see is pro russian supporters playing the "nazi" card.

Nah,the Azov Battalion nazis are the "good" nazis(according to those who spin this narrative) who are fighting FOR Ukraine,but just so happen to be Nazis for some odd reason,especially as the OG Nazis murdered their way through Ukraine in WW2..
It really is some alternate timeline clown simulation shenenigans.
after WWII ukraine suffered HEAVILY under communism and fought like hell to become an INDEPENDENT COUNTRY.
now they are threatening to take them over and your issue is you MAY have saw SOME nazis
going so far as take over crimea to which the world did ZIPPO.

You lose your status of independence if u join either EU, NATO you know what it means to be independent? to be truly free from all influence.
If you join the EU/NATO then you are part of the EU/NATO western sphere of influence.
key word INFLUENCE. you can FREELY LEAVE AS YOU FREELY JOIN EU OR NATO.. btw they are TWO SEPERATE ENTITIES. Yet still retain YOUR OWN COUNTRIES INDEPENDENCE.. NATO yes.. EU tad more complicated but still UKRAINE. Btw its their CHOICE to join or not...
If EU/Germany says to you as a member "Ukraine" you must accpet the refuges you will have no choice but to accpet it.
guess you have not been keeping up on EU politics but alot of EU countries ARE REFUSING TO FOLLOW REFUGEE demands from the EU council.. in any rate what does refugees have to do with RUSSIA INVADING UKRAINE? still waiting for an answer to that
Whatever its an issue of immigration or ecmoncy.
now they are threatening to take them over and your issue is you MAY have saw SOME nazis
Some Nazis? they had marches in Kiev for the past two years now. Not just any marches torch marches in Kiev honoring some of the WW2 nazi soldiers and their own nationalists.
AGAIN SOME NAZIS .. to repeat SOME NAZI (presuming your right) marching. SO? we (sadly ) have some nazi marching here in US.. i DARE YOU to claim we are a NAZI RUN system of government.. you have yet to prove the government of ukraine is following the NAZI government of wwII germany..

The Eastern,Russian ethnic wanted independence. The same way the same NATO/US officials are rejecting Spain's catalonia region to be independent.
um really? oh provide INDEPENDENT PROOF of this.. not the claims of (you guessed it) COMMUNIST RUSSIA.
In your words.
Catalonia can not be independent.
Crimea can not be independent.
um where did i say this again? but specifically to your question PART/STATE of a country can no more ask for independence than one of the states in the USA.. unless the LAW OF THAT COUNTRY provides for this.. again the claims they wanted independence by POPULAR VOTE is russia.
But Ukraine is and can still be independent after it joins NATO how are they still independent if they became part of sphere of influence?
the same way BRITIAN AND GERMANY are intependent countries from USA in NATO.. along with if they dont like it later they can leave like FRANCE DID. prove ANY OF NATO COUNTRIES are not intependent.. it is a SELF DEFENSE ORGANIZATION. man you just cant deal with REALITY can you
CLEARLY YOUR OK WITH COMMUNIST RUSSIA INVADING AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY.

Once you join a geopolitical, sphere of influence the status of your rights "intependent, independence" politics of your country must be decided by either DC,NATO/EU.
AGAIN outside of miltary cooperation protocols what EXACTLY does joining Nato or having the US as an ally change in how they RUN THEIR COUNTRY. AGAIN THEY CAN CHOOSE TO JOIN ANY OF THEM AND CHOOSE TO LEAVE.. its up to them .. still waiting for PROOF of your claims
Lets say a Ukrainian president wants to have a friendly relationship with Russia and "Not Putin in Future" sorry NATO wont allow it.
show me EXACTLY WHERE any NATO country does not have "friendly relationships with russia"? hell they are buying russian energy, have embasseies and treaties with them.. JUST LIKE WE DO... all are part of NATO...the ONLY THING they cant do is be part of NATO and the WARSAW pact defense agreements. they have to choose one or like france choose NONE. if they choose to leave NATO then NATO cant do anything about it.. AGAIN france did it and i dont see any "they cant do that" happening.
