"Not as bad as Russia"? It seems like you don't understand what is happening in these countries. There is very big difference between state where is just very powerful conservative polotical power and state where army uses Nazi symbols, propaganda is every day telling that neighbour country is almost inhuman and "un-patriotic" activists can be jailed, if someone will not kill them before it. For example, in Russia there are many politicals who like modern Ukraine and publically say it. Also liberals and Ukraine-fans organize "marches in support of Ukraine" and goverment give them right to do it. Yes, they are demonized by society and pro-Putin systems of mass information, but they are free to demonize Putin supporters back. Many hundreds of thousands of Ukrainans are still living and working in Russia. Ukraine supporters often even do illegal things, for example they say that "Crimea must be returned to Ukraine", which is illegal as calling to violation of territorial integrity of Russian Federation, but they still are not punished for it. What would happen in Ukraine if someone would say "Crimea is Russia"? Do you really think that he would just continue normal life?

Most of Russian channels are banned and silenced in Ukraine, and, which is intresting, Ukraine is using for this same technology as USSR used to silence Western systems of mass information durng Cold war. But there are several liberal Russian channels, that are aviable. One of them was "Dozd" (rus.  "Дождь" - "Rain"). This channel is against Putin and supports Ukraine. But... some guys complained  that this channel "Kremlin's propaganda", because... in several moments broadcast they showed map of Russia and Crimea was part of it and several series thad "Dozhd" showed were about Russian police. And now this one of most pro-Western systems of mass information on post-Soviet territory is banned too.

Of course Ukraine is much more free country than Russia, they respect human rights all the time, never make fake news and made their country the richest state in whole Europe. Support young Ukrainan democracy! Defend it from evil undemocratic Russia! We are defenders of human rights!
