If this kind of messaging is not some semblance of regret, then what else might it be?
Distancing. Same as it was with other reactionary regimes that were helped into power - see Afghanistan for example. They'll pretend it wasn't the CIA and Wall Street and pentagon doing all that shit, they were totally just helping democracy, bro, and then those far right nazis just showed up out of nowhere!
My other take is that it might be a pretext for a western invasion of Ukraine under the guise of “stopping the far-right and restoring democracy”
Which would follow nicely from what I've described above. Just like in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yugoslavia, and many others
I forgot more than you'll ever know, little wannabe troll
