If you suspect someone of being ukronazi, spell it in Polish "Kijów" (pronounced something like Keyoov), that would really piss them.
or look at their tattoos and emblems
I just cycled through the Reuters article linked in the OP body and picture 2/6 is of an azovite National Corps and picture 3/6 are UNA-UNSO nazis, whose members fought in every post-collapse struggle where they could shoot Russians and even fought alongside Salafi-jihadist and Al-Qaeda groups in Chechnya, and whose founding and most prominent members were real pieces of work
none of this is of course mentioned in the captions.
Hey Wikipedia, how's it going?
I always spell it as Kijów XD
kachow
For some reason I thought of Kraków, and foreigners pronouncing it as Crack Cow.
It's correct pronounciation though, or at least should be considering what's happening there.
Yeah it makes sense
