As a Ukrainian I'm really not a fan of Hitler with his whole lebensraum policy and the wholesale slaughter of multiple Ukrainian villages. Not to mention the fact that both my great grandfathers served in the War.
Frankly his only redeeming qualities in my eyes was his love of animals and hatred of Jews.
i find this really interesting because as i understand it the soviets were absolutely brutal and killed, tortured, and starved many ukranians in the holodomors. things got so bad they resorted to cannibalism. and so when germany moved in they didn't even resist and were actually grateful to them and were treated well. are you sure you weren't indoctrinated by the soviets?
I am not sure how it is about Ukraine, but Czech Republic was also part of the "Soviet Block" and my country got indoctrinated pretty bad by the Soviets...
