You're beyond retarded. But please, tell us more about how this time the US supports that plucky rebel group to defeat some greater evil it will turn out fine, because it worked out so well in the past with Al-Qaeda and ISIS.
Being anti-war and recognising the evil of everyone participating isn't supporting the side you oppose, it's having a principle you don't understand.
It's not any "rebel group", despite Russians habitually calling them "militants" (and "terrorists", increasingly). It's government national forces.
In actual terms, you are correct. But let's not pretend like the narrative isn't treasting those standing against the Russians as if they're the scrappy underdog resisting the oppressive dictator, exactly the same as any other "rebel vs dictator" narrative.
But yes, it is government national forces. Government national forces filled with utterly disgusting people who have eagerly assaulted innocents that didn't want to lay down their lives for Zelensky, and have openly and clearly been fine with unironic NatSoc in the modern era until there was a modicum of actual focus upon them.
The Ukrainian Government are not good people. Russia being shitty doesn't change that reality. And it doesn't change the mountains of geopolitical history that lead up to this situation. Fuck every political actor in this entire conflict, it's that simple.
Propaganda? I didnt see such "narrative", especially since they gained iniative months ago, they don't even talk much about the UPA historically as they have more than enough heroes to celebrate among themselves as they shout Glory to Heroes, and they don't present themselves as anything "scrappy" but as superior to the enemy, and being better armed and the enemy having shit for gear is included in this. It's the "narrative" of power and domination, and even in Russia they currently show the same actually (that is, Ukraine being better armed, trained, supplied, commanded, reconed, "we're fighting against all strenght of NATO") to explain their setbacks. So did you just imagine it?
This is an example of a typical Ukrainian propaganda video, with the usual themes: https://twitter.com/clashreport/status/1521389880596516864
I have zero idea what do you mean by "eagerly assaulted innocents that didn't want to lay down their lives for Zelensky".
Bury your head all you want, but the enemy of your enemy is not your friend.
