The far-right political fringe in Ukraine is tiny. Far-right parties are usually under 3 % of the popular vote nationally.
In 2019 the coalition of far-right parties (e.g. Svoboda, Right Sector, etc.) got just over 2% and didn't clear the threshold for parliamentary representation.. Svboda (the most well known) has a single seat right now iirc.
Sure, extremist militias such as Azov Battalion (or its successors) have included far-right activists and symbols.
However, "some far-right fighters exist" is not the same as "Ukraine is run by Nazis".
The overwhelming majority of Ukrainians before and since 2022 reject far-right ideology.
What there was: A single spike in 2012, typically interpreted as protest votes against Yanukovych and his policies - with votes for the parties collapsing again once he was gone.
Are you genuinely that ignorant of reality, or is it a willful ignorance thing?
