The founder of the Azov regiment, ex-deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Andriy Biletsky admitted to the Financial Times newspaper that many soldiers of the regiment are nationalists.
According to Biletsky, who gave an interview to the publication, most of the Azov fighters are "patriotic, many of them are nationalists." He believes that the majority of Ukrainians today are also nationalists, and he named Stepan Bandera among the heroes revered by citizens.

According to the founder of the regiment, the number of fighters today is "tens of thousands". Most of them are part of territorial defense detachments, including more than a thousand people in Kharkiv.
The Ukrainian authorities have previously tried to deny that they have nationalists, despite the fact that Russia has repeatedly pointed this out. Thus, the need for the denazification of Ukraine by the armed forces of Russia is confirmed.

Russia's war has destroyed a Holocaust memorial and killed a holocaust survivor.

Let's not forget Putin's Wagner group, which is led by a neo-Nazi.
Present the proof, please

The existence of such a formation, whose representatives have repeatedly committed war crimes against civilians not only in Donbass, but also in other regions of the country, creates a certain impression about the Ukrainian authorities, who do not punish the militants in any way.

The people of Azov are effectively spreading their ideology. It is the youth that acts as the target audience for Azov. The infrastructure of "Azov" is extensive, summer camps for children, paramilitary training centers are being created on its basis, music festivals, mixed martial arts tournaments, political events are held – everything for their "promotion in the international ultra-right space". Young people with a weak mind absorb the idea of militarism and fascism.

Despite attempts by Western media to whitewash the battalion, Azov still adheres to neo-Nazi ideology. The militants still wear the Wolfsangel and maintain ties with the founders of the movement, and the current leader of the regiment, Denis Prokopenko, has come from the core of the Azov movement since 2014.

Russia's special operation in Ukraine has shown that a long and systematic struggle is needed against the ideology of Nazism. The Government of Ukraine needs to create conditions that exclude the spread of Nazism among the population.​

Yet another Putin propagandist.

I like it when they only take a few posts to show you that you should never treat what they say as if it is their own well-reasoned conclusion but instead as a top-down disinfo campaign fit for a Russian troll farm.

Can you explain what you mean when you term them “nationalists”? You repeatedly use the term, but you do not tell us why it should be considered so terrible.
 
a "new" poster pushing Russian propaganda.

that raise any red flags?



He is, or should be quite welcome. You cannot stand contrary opinion? Should we all just sing praises to your views? geez

All views are welcome in a free world. I am not sure how different you are from Putin when it comes to tolerance for contrary opinion.

Say hello to him across the Putin social media hack room for us. Thanks!

You do know that those rubles that Putin is payIng you are basically worthless, right? How do the shelves look at your local grocery? A little bare?

You do know that not all views are welcome in Putin’s world, right? It is LIES that take center stage in Putin’s Russia.

Yes, the term "nationalist" is a word that is ripe for miscommunication and talking past each other. It needs to be specified more clearly.

LOL What a tragedy! The civilians hurdled in bomb shelters will surely be surprised that some stone and concrete structure ranks among the tragedies visited daily on civilians. A thousand memorials do not equal the limb of a single civilian.

Debate Politics is not Russia. Stop trying to subject Debate Politics to the hysteria and censorships of Putin’s Russia. You do not have a license to censor.

You make it sound like it's some kind of either/or. Russia is doing both.

And you call Putin a Liar? You are just a cheap version of Putin. You suffer all his fears of contrary opinion without the wealth and power to indulge them. That is what is called a poor man Putin
 
You cannot stand contrary opinion?

What, you're gonna use Jedi Mind Tricks to make people take Putin propaganda seriously?

You're going to pretend that people swatting aside blatant Russian state propaganda is "the hysteria and censorships [sic] of Putin's Russia"?

We know what we're looking at. The lazy gaslight won't work.

You singled out a stone and concrete structure for mention. I don't consider a memorial- to the Holocaust or not- as worthy of mention when people are dying like flies left and right

Wow, you mean to tell me the NeoNazi group are also nationalists?! Shocking.
He believes that the majority of Ukrainians today are also nationalists
Yeah of course he does. And most Nazis in the US believe that the majority of White people would side with them if it wasn't for the globalist Jewish propaganda.

Yes, the Azov Battalion is bad, but focusing on it is like when people focus on the actions of Hamas when you try to talk about the suffering of the Palestinians. The criticism also kinda rings hollow when the country invading Ukraine is fascist. There are more fascist nationalists in Ukraine now than before Russia invaded.

Show me that my statement was wrong instead of attacking me.

No one is obligated to take anything seriously. That is the essence of freedom. You don't have to believe the new poster at all. And you can make up your mind about him without local DP bullies trying to drown him out with shrieks of "Putin"

Show me that my statement was wrong, You can’t, which is why you change the subject. Is Putin a liar or not? Answer the question.

It’s pure Putin propaganda. We’re now not allowed to tell the truth?
