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.
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.
