The Azov Battalion, which was only allowed to exist because they were fighting off a Russian invasion, you know, the invasion that Russia started in 2014. It's just that the Russian troops in Ukraine were "on vacation" until the official invasion kicked off. But being on vacation didn't stop them from shooting down a commercial airplane that flew too close to their paranoid trigger fingers.
For those not in the know, the Azov Battalion was originally a volunteer unit that was founded by far-right figures (and admittedly, and somewhat bizarrely, partially funded by a Jewish-Ukrainian oligarch). However, in 2015, it was folded into the Ukrainian National Guard, and subsequently subjected to the ordinary controls on recruitment and retainment (ie active neonazis were kicked out).
There is some suggestion that the unit still has elements of a far-right culture that linger, but it would be disingenuous to continue calling them a neonazi unit, as recruits from all over Ukraine regardless of leaning or origin; Jewish, Liberal, Leftist, etc; have been assigned to the unit through normal channels and very few of the original members remain.
Those who support Ukraine "winning" the war are in support of NAZI nationalist socialists.
Zelensky and Putin need to come to an agreement.
No more billions to Ukraine, no more intimidation and threatening of Russia.
End war. NAZIs started this conflict and NAZIs are perpetuating this conflict.
End war. End NAZIs. End national socialism. End the deep state. End the racist and authoritarian Democrat party.
