Fact. Germans (I am one) are enthusiastic pork eaters, yet the pig makes an appearance in derogatory words e.g. "Schweinerei" for something messy/disgusting or "Sauhund" for a disliked person. Then again, it is also a symbol of luck, e.g. little marzipan pigs, or the expression "Schwein gehabt" for a lucky event.

Der fährt wie 'ne gesengte Sau! / Drives like a pig on fire. Quiek!

edit: also Sparschwein

even more edit: I grew up in a part of Bonn Bad Godesberg called Schweinheim. Steep hillside up to the plateau of the Kottenforst.

Has been used as so called 'Hütewald' in old times, because it wasn't good for much else, because too steep.

Grunz!

it's the other way around - ukrainians are depicted as pigs. Сало уронили - героям сала!

Your citation actually doesn't indicate Ukrainians are associated with pigs there.

Proves my point. Both sides insult each other using pig symbols.

I think western propaganda rather promotes the use of "orcs" or skewed history in the shape of "mongols" towards russians.
