you are so high rate in some of your replies, people are just telling you that the azov battalion, part of the national guard are nazis. putin used the words or reason for him going to those certain regions because of nazis, i don’t think anyone is saying it’s a good excuse to invade or whatever but they exist. look them up. if he’s said that the country is ran by nazis then obviously it’s propaganda bull.. but azov battalion exists.
“Azov Special Operations Detachment, often known as Azov Detachment, Azov Regiment, or Azov Battalion, is a right-wing extremist and neo-Nazi unit of the National Guard of Ukraine, based in Mariupol, in the Azov Sea coastal region. It saw its first combat experience recapturing Mariupol from pro-Russian separatists forces in June 2014. Azov initially formed as a volunteer militia on 5 May 2014 during the Odessa clashes. On 12 November 2014, Azov was incorporated into the National Guard of Ukraine, and since then all members are contract soldiers serving in the National Guard of Ukraine.”
