          I think you mean “anti-Nazi slogan”. The “Nazis” here are the ones doing Nazi shit, like invading other countries, putting people in prison camps, etc.

        You’re not supposed to ask question like this, the bots here don’t like the truth.

          You have linked directly to an image of a Ukrainian stomping on a swastika flag. You are not making the point you think you’re making.

            They’re trying to liken it to the Nazis, but the fact remains that almost every single military in the world has something like this as either a battle cry or affirmation. US uses several iterations such as “Hooah”, “Ooah” and “Hooyah” depending on your branch so they can feel free to start chiming in about their views on US imperialism and nationalism any time they like, but we know they won’t.

          Who out there would be dumb enough to think “Ukraini” would mean either “Sieg” or “Heil” and not just mean the the sovereign nation of Ukraine?

          It means Glory to Ukraine. Pretty much every military has something like it (for example, Hooah or Ooh-rah for the US Military (specifically the Army and the Marines). It’s also a national salute, which a lot of countries have.

          which translates to “say hail” in english

          https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/hail

          Verb

          hail (third-person singular simple present hails, present participle hailing, simple past and past participle hailed)

          (transitive) To greet; give salutation to; salute.

          (transitive) To name; to designate; to call. quotations ▼

          He was hailed as a hero.
          

          The problem with the german WWII one isn’t as much the word as who they were hailing.

          i very much doubt the Ukrainian word has the same negative connotations as the german one.
