This is like saying that because there is a KKK that all white people are racist.
And I don't mean to judge, the latter gtoup may have a healthier job-hobby-life relationship than me.
except for hosting the service in NSA country
how about being careful with absolute statements. Pretty sure the largest Ukrainian minority, the ethnic Russians are pretty worried. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russians_in_Ukraine
Also nice that you mention the Pravy Sektor. Check out their vKontakte page: http://vk.com/album-62043361_00. Nothing to be worried about I guess.
Being German it is especially disgusting how the German government is supporting the far right nationalists who have close ties to the German NPD (the facist party of Germany).
A few highlights from their stances:
* Criminal prosecution for “Ukrainophobia”[51]
* Criminalization of public promotion of abortions or calls for abortions (by introducing a fine for doing so)[96]
* The restoration of the Soviet practice of indicating ethnic origin on passports and birth certificates[40][51]
* Proportional representation on executive bodies of ethnic Ukrainians, on the one hand, and national minorities, on the other[40][51][98]
* Ukraine should again re-acquire tactical nuclear weaponry[2]

> On 23 February 2014, following the 2014 Ukrainian revolution, the law on regional languages was abolished, making Ukrainian the sole state language at all levels.[102]
and
> In 2004, party leader Tyahnybok was expelled from the Our Ukraine parliamentary faction for a speech calling for Ukrainians to fight against a "Muscovite-Jewish mafia."[32][40] Svoboda advisor Yuriy Mykhalchyshyn established a "‘Joseph Goebbels Political Research Centre" in 2005, later changing "Joseph Goebbels" to "Ernst Jünger."[2] Mykhalchyshyn wrote a book in 2010 citing works by Nazi theorists Ernst Röhm, Gregor Strasser and Goebbels.[40][87][107] Elsewhere Mykhalchyshyn referred to the Holocaust as a "period of Light in history".[108]
anyway I guess I must be part of the Russian Propaganda machine for quoting from Wikipedia.

Also I wanted to add I'm not pro Russia either. If you wrongfully assumed that you should check your own ideology because you don't have to take up one of two sides.
Personally I consider this a loose loose for Ukraine which is a shame.
