The Radical Far Right Neo-Nazi Group Azov Battalion Has Emerged As The Main Defender Of Ukraine, But What Does That Mean For The Future?
The military uniforms of the Azov Battalion feature Nazi insignia and its fighters have been photographed with tattoos of Nazi symbols such as the swastika. On the eve of the launch of National Corps, its members took out a Nazi-style raised-fist, torch-lit march through the streets of Kyiv. Members of the Azov militia also do street patrols where, in the name of enforcing what it calls ‘Ukrainian order’, they have been known to attack Roma and other ethnic minoritie

Many people don’t know this, but Nazis and Communists are bitter enemies, and though they seek to oppress their people equally, they have very different ideologies. Adolf Hitler hated Stalin and the Communists, so much so he entered into a false peace treaty with Russia, then attacked them anyway. So when Vladimir Putin said he was invading Ukraine to get rid of the Nazis there, it had a ring of truth to it. The main fighting force in Ukraine is the Azov Battalion, a group previously banned on social media for their Nazi allegiances. Now this far-right neo-Nazi group has been officially incorporated into the Ukrainian military, and they are committing atrocities just as much as the Russians are.
“And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.” Matthew 24:4 (KJB)
Anyone paying attention to what’s happening in Ukraine and Russia right now knows that from top to bottom, this is a war of deception, being waged on a variety of levels. Putin is sending in conscripts and old tanks, intentionally holding back his actual soldiers and his powerful military, saving them for when NATO and America get involved which is his whole goal anyway. Over in Ukraine, Zelenskyy is using the conflict to galvanize Europe into creating a EU Army, with Germany leading the charge. This is not, at the moment, WWIII, but it just might be very soon.
Right-wing Neo-Nazi Azov Battalion emerges as a controversial defender of Ukraine against Russia
FROM GREENWICH TIME: Inside a warehouse, in a bustling section of this capital, the incessant cracking sound of gunfire echoed off walls. Men in olive-colored camouflage were training for war. Most wore helmets and bulletproof jackets. Some wore high-top sneakers. All clutched AK-47 rifles and waited for their turn to shoot at a round target 50 yards away. It was centered with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s face – and peppered with bullet holes.
Invisible, yet palpable, was the shadow cast over this new regiment, like every unit of the Azov Battalion. Alexi Suliyma knew about its ugly past, but he joined anyway. Two friends were in the force, and he felt the Azov would best train him to defend his motherland.
Zelensky is asked by Fox News’ Bret Baier about the Azov battalion allegedly shooting POWs.

Of all the Ukrainian forces fighting the invading Russian military, the most controversial is the Azov Battalion. It is among Ukraine’s most adept military units and has battled Russian forces in key sites, including the besieged city of Mariupol and near the capital, Kyiv. With Russian forces withdrawing from areas north of Kyiv last week and possibly repositioning in southern and eastern Ukraine, which Moscow has declared as its primary focus, the Azov forces could grow in significance.

Members of the Azov militia also do street patrols where, in the name of enforcing what it calls ‘Ukrainian order’, they have been known to attack Roma and other ethnic minorities, and LBGT events. The Ukrainian National Guard has released videos of Azov fighters greasing bullets with pig fat, apparently for use against the Muslim Chechens fighting among the Russian forces. source
But the battalion’s far-right nationalist ideology has raised concerns that it is attracting extremists, including white supremacist neo-Nazis, who could pose a future threat. When Putin cast his assault on Ukraine as a quest to “de-Nazify” the country, seeking to delegitimize the Ukrainian government and Ukrainian nationalism as fascist, he was partly referring to the Azov forces. While they are now fighting for a Jewish president whose relatives were killed fighting the Nazis, they have continued to be fodder for Russian propaganda as Putin seeks to convince Russians that his costly invasion of Ukraine was necessary.

Azov Battalion On Ukraine Russia Frontline l Putin’s Denazification Goal Aimed At White Supremacists?
As the Russian invasion of Ukraine enters its third week, a Ukrainian far-right military regiment is back in the headlines. Russian President Vladimir Putin cited “denazifying” Ukraine as one of the objectives of his offensive against Kyiv. Azov is a far-right all-volunteer infantry military unit whose members are ultra-nationalists. As a battalion, the group fought on the front lines against pro-Russian separatists in Donetsk, the eastern region of Ukraine.
