Unfortunately every countries military has nationalistic fascists, some of which use Nazi iconography to display their "pride". I could find the 1940 Swedish general election (not at war), 1942 Icelandic parliamentary election (occupied by USA), 1943 & 1944 Irish general elections (not at war) as the elections held between Sep 1939 & Sep 1945, the other democratic European country's I reviewed, elections were either postponed or went uncontested.

Is every country erecting monuments to or naming streets after famous Nazis?

Oh look. It’s the countries arming these Nazis. What a weird coincidence.

All while being invaded by a fascist far-right authoritarian dictatorship (by your logic), because yes, Russia has fascists.

So while your point is that Ukraine is a far-right authoritarian country because it:

  • Has a controversial monument to a fascist
  • Doesn't hold elections while being invaded
  • Has fascists in its military ranks

The point I'm attempting to make to you, is that all countries have fascists in them. Yes even Russia:

They were invaded in a US-backed soft coup during the Maiden Coup of 2014. Everything has followed as a result.

And Russia was supporting the other side, you lose some you win some. Or should the EU make up some genocide story and invade Hungary and Belarus?
