@rjs001@lemmygrad.ml

Yeah, that checks out.

Just gonna paste a previous comment of mine that fits here:

The Azov battalion only has around 900-2500 members, and the far-right parties in Ukraine only got 2% of the votes in 2019, besides Zelensky being Jewish and the country becoming more progressive over time.

Meanwhile Russia accepts Nazis in its ranks with open arms, besides being the darling of the Republican party. It's not a coincidence that the only American politicians/pundits who support Russia and constantly whine about Ukraine are all conservative.

It's just some pro-russian loser, don't bother giving them oxygen. Downvote them and move on.

Pretty much. It’s a tankie troll. Only way to solve the problem is to refuse to feed the troll.

The Azov Battalion was accepted as part of the military. That means that the entire military accepts them. Zelensky has banned every single leftist party in the country and continued the killings agaisnt civilians in Donbas

That is a bold claim. Do you have some non Russian sources backing that up?

[–] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Here's a BBC article from 2014 about how Russia is completely overstating the nazi presence in the country, they just give neonazis citizenship and Azov have 3 Nazi symbols in their logo.

Here's another one about Right Sector, an ultranationalist alliance and one of the players in the 2013 Maiden coup.

How about this incident where thousands of Nazis demanded recognition for the Nazi aligned UPA?

Funny how all the Nazis immediately disappeared when Russia invaded though. Almost like one of those whitewashing things.

Thanks for the sources. However, these don't really support the point. For "run by them and filled by them", I would expect more than a right wing party barely passing the 5% and someone claiming that they can mobilize 0.1% of the population.

Actual, literal, Hitler-loving Nazis are included at the table. I'm sure you're familiar with the expression about 10 people at a table with a nazi.

Zelensky clapped for SS Nazi Hunka. You can look that up and see a plethora of Canadian, American, British and Russian sources confirming it. Pictures too

Could someone remind me which country bombed a bunch of holocaust memorials in ukraine and wants to ethnically cleanse and rape women? EDIT: its also a two in one package for ukraine because they can send the nazis (yes there are a lot there but extremism in genral is common in war ridden places) to die in the war and they also help them in fighting russia.
