There wasn't a question the Azov battalion had a major neo-Nazi problem before the war began. There multiple articles in the Western media before the war exposing that.
Oh, BTW, Congress cutoff from the Azov battalion in 2018 because of their neo-Nazi ties:

A little-noticed provision in the 2,232-page government spending bill passed last week bans U.S. arms from going to a controversial ultranationalist militia in Ukraine that has openly accepted neo-Nazis into its ranks.
House-passed spending bills for the past three years have included a ban on U.S. aid to Ukraine from going to the Azov Battalion, but the provision was stripped out before final passage each year.
{mosads}This year, though, the $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill signed into law last week stipulates that “none of the funds made available by this act may be used to provide arms, training or other assistance to the Azov Battalion.”
“White supremacy and neo-Nazism are unacceptable and have no place in our world,” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), an outspoken critic of providing lethal aid to Ukraine, said in a statement to The Hill on Tuesday. “I am very pleased that the recently passed omnibus prevents the U.S. from providing arms and training assistance to the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion fighting in Ukraine.”

And, never mind, Stepan Bandera, a Nazi collaborator is revered like Abraham Lincoln in Ukraine. There are more than 150 monuments in honor of him and streets named after him.
The reality the Biden regime and our corrupt political class lie far more than Putin does. Putin is absolutely right when says compared to us, the Russians are white, puffy angels.
We're the new evil empire under Biden. You're a disgrace for spreading its lies.
Amazing that Obama/Biden "installed" Zelensky during the Trump Presidency. Idiocy
“Exactly, Neo Nazi’s are a Ukie problem, everyone knows it.”
Yep, so much of a problem they elected a Jew for president.
Yes, Ukraine happens to be the least anti-Semitic country in eastern Europe.
you have degenerated into a Putinista war criminal
As a neo isolationist you have jumped in over your head
To Ukraine this is all nonsense.
If there was an effective fighting force helping them fight the Russians they wouldn’t care who else they hated. That is stuff to deal with if they survive.
Bkmk
“And, never mind, Stepan Bandera, a Nazi collaborator is revered like Abraham Lincoln in Ukraine. There are more than 150 monuments in honor of him and streets named after him.”
Russia has hundreds of statues to Lenin, Marx, and Stalin from one end of the country to the other. Stalin was a bigger mass murderer than Hitler. His corpse is still in the Kremlin walls.
So by your logic you’re a supporter of Stalin. See how easy that is?

Wow, that’s stupid. It’s not because of the Azov, it’s the deep state.
Wonder how many CIA/FBI types are involved, just sayn
Methinks you misunderstood my remarks , see my follow up post #10.
“Good grief/ They are nazis you fool.”
Hysterical clown. You have Ukrainian Nazis under your bed. And they set your hair on fire too.
Not just Putin, the ENTIRE Western Media, until they were told to push the line that the Azovs were 'Good Nazis', whatever the hell that means.
So what? It isn't a communist nation anymore. It's a country with a 13% flat tax rate that has spend billions building churches in recent years.
Bandera, however, is worshiped in Ukraine. Streets in recent years have been named after him. The Ukrainian sing songs about him.
The Azovs has such strong neo-Nazi ties that Congress cutoff funding to them in 2018. Azov fighters have Nazis and, even, Hitler tattoos on their bodies.
They’re a bunch of neo Nazi thugs.
“So what? It isn’t a communist nation anymore.”
So why are the Ukes any different? You get to keep your statues of your mass murderers and they get to keep their statues of their mass murderers.
That seems fair to me.

You know what else there is Russia? Gulag Museums so the masses never forget the atrocities that accorded under Stalin and communism:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perm-36
Perm-36 (also known as ITK-6) was a Soviet forced labor colony located near the village of Kuchino,[1] 100 km (60 miles) northeast of the city of Perm in Russia. It was part of the large prison camp system established by the former Soviet Union during the Stalin era, known as the Gulag. Since 1972 the camp was designated a "strict regime" and "special regime" (строгого режима, особого режима) camp used exclusively for the incarceration of "especially dangerous state criminals", mostly Soviet dissidents.[1][2][3]
Built in 1946[1] and closed in December 1987,[1] the camp was preserved in 1994[2] by the Russian human historical and human rights organization Memorial.[4] In 1995[2] the following year it was opened to the public as The "Perm-36" Museum of the History of Political Repression[2] (known popularly as the Gulag Museum).[2][failed verification] It was run by an NGO called the Perm-36 Memorial Center of Political Repression".[2] It was the only surviving example of a Gulag labor camp, the others having been abandoned or demolished by the Soviet government before the dissolution of the Soviet Union.[1]
One does not cancel out the other.

If it really is a battalion sized problem aren’t we talking about maybe 1000 people in a country of millions.
Yeah, Trump was in charge of the CIA, FBI, etc as evidenced by his full control over the Russia Collusion hoax, the Whitmer kidnapping, etc.
Why don't you find reality and break your bubble of believing Zelensky is anything other than a fraud who was selected by the global swamp so they could launder billions via arms deals?
