They have not been so explicit, but their slogan is “Ukraine for the Ukrainians” and they propose expulsion of Jewish people and Russians. (They claim the Russians are puppets of the Jews, much as did Hitler before them.)

I would say the "Ukraine for the Ukrainians" would be a winner that most Ukrainians would support. Any variation of that slogan in Poland (where I lived for two years while the Communists were still running things) and other countries in Eastern Europe and the Baltics would be supported by the vast majority of the people.

Here is great peace of US propaganda narrated by Charlton Heston. It still sends chills through me.Let Poland "be Poland

Their primary goal appears to be expulsion of the ethnic Russians in Crimea.

If the truth be known, those feelings are shared by many countries that used to be part of the Soviet Empire. They still fear a Russian return. It is no secret that their eagerness to join NATO and the EU was motivated by fear of the Russians coming back.

Note: I am NOT saying the Ukranians don’t have a legitimate beef with the Russians. I am saying the leaders of the Ukrainian group (which is Svoboda, despite the alleged minor representation in government) are bad guys.

Every country has "bad guys," but they are a distinct minority. I don't understand why this is such a big issue when thousands of Russian troops have invaded the country and occupying it once again. Hitler claimed similar justification for the Sudetenland. The idea that Russia has a right to invade a country to protect ethnic Russians who are Ukrainian citizens is what smacks of Nazism, not a small radical political party.

“I would say the “Ukraine for the Ukrainians” would be a winner that most Ukrainians would support.”

The phrase certainly worked for Hitler.
