Without being a glorified political puppet since the beginning of WWII Ukraine may well have come to rival Germany for regional and economic power.
Instead the people were constantly abused and wrung dry by the rubberbanding puppet administrations who advocated entirely for the interest of their masters, not Ukraine nor even America/Russia.
The US constantly pretends it does nothing wrong while in the background entirely controlling nations as glorified slave states working for bankers and industrialists.
a glorified political puppet since the beginning of WWII
Keep on reading this story. The nationalists generally turned against Stalin AND Hitler at the same time by the mid war. Some even having deserted both of their forces. (That's in addition to having had deserted from the Polish army. 1939, 1941, 1943.)
That the Germans, let's say, mismanaged the Reichskommisariat Ukraine (very Stalinist style, including keeping the kolkhoz system, confiscating food to the point of starvation, and taking people away for forced labor) was only German fault and America actually didn't "entirely control" the Nazi polices.
