Ukraine regularly publishes drone footage from their own divisions named after nazis, using nazi symbols. Also, look up Azov. This is not propaganda, Ukraine is making themselves look bad.

    This is called trolling/ragebaiting, if you haven't known.

    Guys got so tired of being called Nazi that they decided to jokingly look like them for the whole purpose of making Russians angry. I agree that this isn't the smartest decision, but still doesn't mean that they are Nazis. Ukraininas are Nationalists, these are different terms.

    Hate to break it to you, but nazism aint fucking funny to normal people. Normal people don't clad themselves in fucking totenkopfs, don't design obvious dog whistles as their insignia and don't do fackelzugs in their free time.

    Can you at least read properly someone's quote before replying? Firstly, I don't support Nazis and decision of Ukrainians to start this trolling tactic. Secondly, being sane and trully Nazi(not cosplaying) are different things. I never said that Ukrainians remained fully sane after whole these years of Russian terror. Also, for some reason, no one was accusing Ukraine of being Nazi state(and not nationalist) before Russia done it. Suspicious, moscovite. /pby

    Nationalists care about their culture, suvernity and national interests. But, in the same time, they aren’t racists and authoritarians. They don’t oppress minorities, don’t invade in other countries. Core idea: they don’t mind other nations for as long as they’re not attacking their home, culture, suvernity.

    Sounds familliar? Surely ukrainian nazis don't opress their women, queers, hungarians, russians and roma people. Surely they wouldn't welcome russian nazis escaping crackdowns and then make jolly wee black metal together, they wouldn't organize annual festival ofc! They would also celebrate their own culture instead of larping vikings!

    Sources are either western liberal or ukrainian. OSW recently did azov apologia, no different to what you're doing here. Assuming you're sincere in your consideration for ukrainian people it's quite strange that you chose this particular hill to die on. By whitewashing actual problems you don't help in resolving this war whatsoever.

    Secondly, being sane and trully Nazi(not cosplaying) are different things.

    The only people cosplaying nazis are, in fact, nazis.

    Also, for some reason, no one was accusing Ukraine of being Nazi state(and not nationalist) before Russia done it. Suspicious, moscovite.

    Whitewashing of ukrainian nazis by western media

    Certified moment

    At least since 2014 Ukraine has been accused to be a nazi friendly state.

    This is just "You SJWs called us nazis so we're gonna troll you by dressing and acting like nazis and doing nazi things." You know what we call those guys? Nazis. I don't care if you think you're just kidding, anyone who wears those symbols has declared themselves an enemy of humanity and will be deservedly rocked.
