“Recruiting chats on the encrypted Telegram messaging app are run by the Azov Regiment, popular with neo-Nazis and white supremacists, and American neo-Nazis work to recruit for Azov, the respected SITE Intelligence Group says. Azov Regiment originated as a far-right paramilitary unit and is now a subset of the Ukrainian military, according to SITE.”
Didn’t the media pretty much tell us that Azov doesn’t exist and was a ‘conspiracy theory’ being propagated by those opposing intervention? I guess the NY Times found a reason to state the truth here.
It is in the wording
Azovs aren’t just “popular” with neo-Nazis, they ARE neo-Nazis and white supremacists.
By calling them “far right”, the NYT probably felt that made it reportable.
