Via a Twitter friend, I saw this great paper by a Canadian academic that addresses the reality of all those issues.
One thing the bipartisan foreign policy establishment and its fellow travelers, the nat-sec nutsacks and their fellow travelers, will tell you and I is that the far right parties didn't get much electoral support in 2014 or later. Ivan Katchanovski notes that those parties had a degree of importance and influence beyond their electoral numbers.
Next, he notes that both Russia and Ukraine (and Western backers) have politicized things connected to the Euromaidan. This is the first time I've heard that the Ukrainian government claimed the Odessa genocide was a false flag.
It's an academic paper, of 2016, so not "up to date," but still invaluable.
And, Katchanovski has dipped his toes in the Haaahhvahd word himself, per his vita.

Remember #BlueAnon talking about Trump as a loose cannon on foreign policy? Well, folks, Counterpunch has your number on Team Biden. Hell, per the story, Teapot Tommy Friedman has your number, down to the exact same point of Europe being alarmed.
