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 minorities

On the eve of the launch of National Corps, the members of the Azov Battalion took out a Nazi-style raised-fist, torch-lit march through the streets of Kyiv.

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.

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.

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.

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
