This play ruzzian propaganda so well. Just keep adding stories about nazis i ukraine and at the end, noone will be certain about whats true or not.
Still, ofc there are nazis in ukraine, but that is true about all countries.
Sadly I’m still pretty sure the most damage here has been done by Ukraine itself:
Yes, of course there are some nazis in Ukraine. Sadly every country seem to have some fringe right-wing morons. And using them to fight Russia, especially in a time when the offcial army wasn’t up to the task yet, was understandable.
But that’s not the main problem. The main problem is doubt that Ukraine will be able to handle them at some point when it’s necessary. And when -to paraphrase Ukraine’s then ambassador to Germany for example in 2015- the answer to the question if they realize that this can become a problem down the road is: “No, you are lying to help Russian propaganda! There are and never in history were any right-wing groups in Ukraine!” that’s a pretty big indicator that they won’t manage that problem ever. Because acknowledging it exists would have been the required first step instead of spewing insane rants.
They were a movement that was an active militia (trained and armed) that took part in the elections and did not even get enough votes for a single seat in Parlaiment.
Yes, there are extremists in Ukraine. Azov (and others) was this before the war, they where also a political party that did not get enough votes for a single seat in Ukrainian parlement.
And Azov started to militarize… after the Russian invasion in 2014 as counter weight to Girkin and his extremists who dragged Ukraine into a war.
So what is your point? A whole state is defined by its extremist minority? Ukraine does not have the luxury to crack down on or exclude these groups now they are in an existential battle for survival.
A state is comprised of more than just the people that got elected into office. When you have Azov formally integrated into the military, a president that was elected on the platform of uniting the country and ending a civil war getting laughed at when he tries to enact his mandate, diplomats and other officials that uphold bandera, a state forbidding minority languages, etc. It’s not just “an extremist minority” but an insitutional problem.
And to support these forces in order to topple a perceived geopolitical enemy is just collaborating with fascist, especially when doing so created that enemy in the first place.
I think you are turning around cause and effect. Fringe political extremist where turned into "heroic defenders of Ukraine the day little green men showed up to separate Crimea and the Donbas from Ukraine. If anything the Russian invasion have them legitimacy. It clearly says so in the links you provided.
Edit: And Putin stated Ukraine was not a country as early as the 90’s even though the USSR fell apart and countries that where autonomous before, became independent again.

Turned by whom? When you have leaked phone calls where the US discussed regime change, or Biden already predicting in 97 a pissed off Russia when NATO expands even when Clinton and Yeltsin basically handpicked Putin, it’s actually you that has cause and effect reversed.
My sources are western and are corroborating far right/Nazi Elements in Ukraine, but it’s still slanted with western foreign policy so you should read it with a grain of salt…
Turned in the perception of Ukranians. The Azov movement was seen by many Ukranians for what they where… right wing extremists they had no legitimacy. But when Russia invaded they fought the Russians tooth and nail, legitimizing them.
Biden articulated what Putin was saying himself. Joining NATO is the choice of a souverein nation and using that as an excuse for invasion is just that… an excuse.
So no, I don’t think I see it reversed. And what we are seeing unfold is clear. You claim to be anti imperialist but when Russia does it it’s OK?
The war is horrible and can end with Russia withdrawing to within their own borders, but that won’t happen as Putin will be punished by his “own” and replaced with someone else to do it.

ukraine is a nazi state
Statements without proof can be dismissed without proof.
Both Zelensky and Azov are funded by Ukrainian billionaire Ihor Kolomoisky, but do go on there little buddy https://www.thedailybeast.com/billionaire-ukrainian-oligarch-ihor-kolomoisky-under-investigation-by-fbi

Led by a Jew
Removed by mod
You know what, I’ll give you that one.
wait till you find out about the state of Israel and what it’s been up to
And? Do you think that a jewish nazi is some kind of innate contradiction?
I would have before, but recent events are starting to make me feel differently
So is israel
I already bowed out on that
