Yes- you can't call those fighting AGAINST pro-Russian Ukrainians ' Ukrainians ' as it would imply that pro-Russian Ukrainians are not Ukrainians
I don't believe that's true. I think it's akin to saying that German Nazis taking jews to the concentration camps weren't Germans. They were still Germans, just Germans twisted to the dark side.
So terming them ' Zelenskies' differentiates them.
True, but so would calling them ultra nationalists and neo nazis, and I think it would be a more apt term. Zelensky, being jewish, would clearly have reservations about associating too closely with Neo Nazis, especially the type that dislikes jews. I have seen signs during this war that he has put up a -little- resistance to the hard line that the ultra nationalists have been trying to push.
The fact that Zelensky himself is a piss-poor comedian who betrayed Palestine and allowed NATO to devastate his country in a proxy war is neither here nor there. It's just a term of clarification.
Not such a bad comedian in my view. Did you click on the youtube video of his comedy skit? I think some of the things he said there are truly eye opening, especially considering his stance now. The article I linked to afterwards from Ken Perrot at Open Parachute elaborates on some of the things he said in it. Mr. Perrot quotes various things Zelensky says in his skit and then elabortes on them. Quoting a bit of it:

“I AM LEARNING ENGLISH TO FORGET RUSSIAN WITH THE HELP OF AMERICAN MERCENARIES; THEY’RE ALL OVER THE PLACE.”
The USA has been involved in Ukraine ever since independence in the early 90s. They have been happy to support the anti-Russian prejudices promoted by Banderites and the evidence is that the USA was involved in the anti-democratic coup in February 2014.
“OUR PRESIDENT, THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE BARACK OBAMA, HAS PROMISED THAT WE WILL JOIN NATO SOON, AS AN AMERICAN HENCHMAN OF COURSE.”
Interesting aside there. Ukraine was never a serious candidate for NATO membership but was in fact incorporated into NATO in all but name. NATO training, arms supplies and intelligence. In the current war, one can say the aim of the Americans is to fight to the last Ukrainian in their attempt to destroy Russia.
“IF YOU CAN PLEASE SEND ME HITLER’S BOOK “MEIN KAMPF.” THEY ARE SOLD OUT HERE.”
The capture of headquarters occupied by neo-Nazi groups like the Azov Battalion, Aidar Batallion, Right Sector, etc., reveals that these groups are reading classical fascist literature.
Interestingly, the manifesto of the Christchurch terrorist, Tarrant, while banned in New Zealand, was translated into eastern European languages and is used by groups like the Azov Battalion. During the shooting, Tarrant wore a flak jacket with a symbol commonly used by the Azov Battalion which even the New York Times describes as “a Ukrainian neo-Nazi paramilitary organization.”
