that maniac in […] Christchurch, New Zealand in 2019 (who btw had gone to Ukraine and trained with Azov before committing the massacre)
Do you have any sources on this? I can only find reference to the perpetrator spending time with other Nazi groups in other eastern european countries, not with Azov Battalion or in Ukraine.
While its not proven he trained with Azov specifically, he definetely went to Ukraine and met with neonazis there. If it wasnt Azov, then it was Right Sector, Aidar or another of the hundreds of nazi battallions in Ukraine. He knew how to handle war weapons very well and he was with ukrainian nazis who have specific offices that recruit foreign fighters. He also wore a black sun patch on his chest, exactly like Azov members do. The connection seems clear to me.
Thanks. Appreciate it. This info can help make a bit of a home connection to the fact Nazism is alive and well in the Ukrainian military, whatever else someone might believe about the current Ukraine-Russia situation.
