Azov Brigade returns to fight at front
The Kiev Independent via Yahoo ^ | August 17th, 2023 | Martin Fornusek

The Azov Brigade of Ukraine's National Guard is again carrying out military operations at the front, Colonel Mykola Urshalovych said during a briefing at the Military Media Center on Aug. 17.

"The Special Operations Brigade 'Azov' has recovered and begun carrying out combat tasks in the area of the Serebrianskyi forest," the National Guard officer said.

According to Urshalovych, the Azov Brigade soldiers are holding the captured lines and inflicting heavy losses on enemy manpower and equipment.

On Aug. 15, the brigade's artillery destroyed a Russian mortar and a vehicle near the Serebrianskyi forest in Luhansk Oblast, the officer specified.

The Azov fighters became a symbol of Ukraine's resistance through their tenacious defense of the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol in the first three months of the war. Russian forces eventually took Mariupol by May 2022, capturing the remaining defenders.

The Nazis are back in the fight.

Russia wishes they had filled the tunnels of Mariupol with diesel and lit it.

The Ukrainian activists on FR insist that there never was a Nazi presence in the Ukraine. They act like they don’t know the Azov Nazis ‘integrated into’ the Ukrainian National Guard.

How does the song go?

Dashing through the Reich
In a black Mercedes Benz

Oh, how good it is to have the Nazis back in town.

Wasn’t Russia just summarily executing these jokers at the start of the war? No prisoners? I doubt they’re any better disposed towards them now.

Reminds me when I got into a heated conversation in an Israeli airport lounge with a moron who ran for PA (Us Senate) about a certain group he was supporting in Syria.

Never mind they were effing Commies.

Sick of the “enemy of my enemy is my friend....and we’ll just clean up the mess later with blood and treasure”.

I wouldn't know. I'm posting the truth and never consult anyone's talking points.

“Wasn’t Russia just summarily executing these jokers at the start of the war? No prisoners?”

They actually released all their Azov prisoners shortly after removing them from Mariupol. I doubt they’ll get a second chance though. Their hatred for Russia runs deep at any rate and they are just as fanatical as their stepfather, the SS.

Putin laid out the four objectives of the SMO on 21 February 2022:

1. Demilitarization of Ukraine.
2. Neutralization of Ukraine.
3. Protection of Russian-speaking people in Ukraine.
4. Denazification of Ukraine.

And? Post WWII, this ONE unit had ties that were Fascist. Today, there are only a FEW people in the entire unit that still espouse a National Socialist ideology...

Who the f*ck cares... Most likely... they will fight and die and remove themselves from the gene pool.

Does this in some way make you feel better about supporting Putin in attacking another sovereign Nation in his bid to rebuild the Soviet Union?

They are Nazis - real Nazis who admire Banderas and his hero, Hitler. There are not a 'few' of them. There are many.

I care. I will not willingly support Nazis. I'm not supporting Putin. YOu're just incensed that I'm not supporting the Nazis in the Ukraine.

Less than 1% of the fighters in Ukraine are National Socialist, and for that you’d be ok with Putin putting the Evil Empire back together.

We have REAL Nazi’s here in the US... Would you be ok with Mexico or Canada invading us to kill them?

Idiot.

Why would I give a damn about Putin’s absurd dirty lies?

But that wasn’t what I was answering.
