You clearly don't know how Ukraine has always felt about Russia. People in Ukraine welcomed the Germans.

Initially the Ukrainians did see the Nazis as 'liberators'.

They had hoped the Nazis would help them regain their independence from Russia. The Ukrainians remembered how the Russians starved many of them and tried to wipe them off the map.

However, the Nazis were just as evil and soon the Ukrainians turned against the Nazis and looked to the Russian Red Army.

Man, I wish TD had a history board. So much history just in WWII.
