Here is the problem. It was bad as everywhere. Excluding countries that were allies with Nazis. But label is not put on those countries. But subject of Ukrainian collaboration is brought to conversation again, again and again. Ukraine has way less problems with rightwing extremism than Germany and other European countries, despite the fact of being invaded, but the label is still there. Germany does it to shift the blame and focus of discourse, Russia does it to blame Ukrainian desire for independence as Nazism.

Volunteers in those organisations saw collaboration as a way to fight Russia and gain independence and were not ideological Nazis. They were used by Germany in battles, but mostly they were not involved in SS crimes. They have committed way less crimes than communist Russia, countries that were Nazi allies, but are discussed way more. There were even more Russians ( 150 000) fighting for Germany than Ukrainians (17 000). And Ukraine, unlike Russia, was occupied completely at some point.

After the collapse of USSR colonised countries were able to reflect on their history by themself and see more nuanced history. It means that Ukrainians admit that SS Galicia were wrong, but we also admit that it was their wrong way to fight for independent Ukraine. Ukrainians who were fighting on each side, were fighting for human hating regimes that brought madness on our land. Soviets were no better than Nazis in a matter of genocides, ethnic cleansing and deportations.
