But actually it was the Soviet Union who supported the ANC, and Ukraine was part of it. So why the sympathies for the dominant aggressor and not the smaller victim?

Same reason you see people on here equate the USSR and Russia: revisionist history (revisionist lies that the current Russian regime supports) and ignorance of the internal workings of the USSR. For instance, the majority of time the USSR existed it was under non-Russian leadership and many of its heroes were similarly diverse.
