Yeah, that was the joke. Obviously they hide behind more superficially benign banners of national self-determination that either aren’t actually reflected in information we have about the population (Xinjiang) or is very plainly part of fascist projects sponsored by Bandera, then the CIA, then Banderites who keep refusing to let Ukrainians vote for anything other than Banderism (first a coup, then a bait-and-switch candidate, and now elections are “suspended”)
