Remember that Ukraine was part of the Red Army. One of the Soviet units attacking Berlin was 1st Ukrainian Front.

The sacrifice and courage of Soviet soldiers in the face of Nazi aggression is profound and worthy of admiration, yes.

Should be noted that Stalin was a Hitler-enabler and early ally, or at least subtle collaborator, leading up to the onset of the war. The western democracies should have done a better job of building a coalition with Stalin in the thirties, but failed, hoping appeasement and hand-wringing would do the trick instead.

Soviet soldiers also invaded Finland around that time and were complete assholes there, even if they did get their asses handed to them by a numerically-inferior, but fierce fighting source. It's sad that most of the slaughter was inflicted upon Ukrainian conscripts who probably didn't actually give a shit about annexing Finland.

And what percentage of the red army was Ukrainians, Georgians, Armenians, Azeris, Khazakhs, etc? russofascist revisionism and appropriation is cancer too.

Fun facts about that image, it's been altered to remove a second, likely looted, watch from his wrist, and smoke added for dramatic effect. It's propagandized. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raising_a_Flag_over_the_Reichstag
