    Sure, there are neo-Nazis in Ukraine and there’s no denying that Azov has that past. The Russian Volunteer Corps fighting for Ukraine is composed of neo-Nazis and there are multiple other Russian neo-Nazis now on the side of Ukraine.

    There are also neo-Nazis fighting for Russia. The Wagner and Rusich groups for example.

    More importantly, at the helm of Russia, there is a real fascist with a track record of countless acts of murder committed to further his idea of a great nation. Any ideological Nazi is like child’s play in comparison, so I see no issue with Ukraine choosing the lesser evil and using those dreamers to fight another Hitler wannabe, just as they did Stalin in the years of Bandera.
