They are both named mountain batalion/division Edelweiss.
Edelweiss is not a "military classification" is it? Great choice for ukrainians naming themselves after a division known for their massive war crimes against jews/Poles,etc. there in WW2, among many other despicable things.
ukraine definitely has a large portion of the population with nazi ideology.
And they are proud of it. There are 100's of examples.
You can try to whitewash all you want, those are facts

    And one of the subunits of the Nazi Azov brigade uses the same symbol as the notorious "Dirlewanger" SS unit, who were so brutal in their war crimes even the rest of the SS was disgusted. They are openly declaring themselves as Nazis, yet you still have shills trying to gaslight you that they are not Nazis.

    LOL nazi apologist.

    Just because the name is given to it by the little beggar doesn't make it a military classification, it's a name.

    Looking at the history of the 10th Mountain Brigade, I don’t see that their commanding officer and founder, Vasyl Zubanych, has Nazi ties.

    Of course you wouldn't, you wouldn't see a nazi if Bandera himself was in front of you.

    the 10th Mountain Brigade was formed of what was left of the scum from the nazi Aidar batallion and some others.
    Whatever that Zubanych is or isn't doesn't matter to the obvious link to the other mountain brigade of their nazi examples that operated in the same region.

    Honestly, my best guess is that you are a Russian propagandist.

    I expect nothing better from your 'guess' since you are wrong on everything else.
    As pathetic as the zionist scum calling everyone Hamas or antisemitic if you dare criticize them
    Showing some facts from the overwhelming evidence of massive fascism in ex-ukraine must be 'Russian propaganda' according to nazi apologists.
    No need for evidence/sources then right?

    On 14 February 2023, the brigade was granted the Edelweiss honorific by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in honor of its mountain troops nazi traditions

    Somebody should correct it in wikipedia

    Do you know that Edelweiss is the name of a flower, that grows in the mountains and is depicted on both the patches? The flower is the only connection in this case. Like, literally. It is a symbol of mountains in that region. It's not the fault of others that Germany Nazi initially used it in WW2.

    For your argument about other names and patches that have more direct connections: this roots to the idiotic decision of matching labeling for being Nazi for the sake of trolling and ragebaiting Russians. Not the smartest move, but labeling Ukrainians Nazi because of this is even more idiotic. They are Nationalists. Nationalists don't do invasive territory expansions(like Russia or Israel) and don't think that they are better than others(like Russian chauvinism or Israel supremacy ideology). Learn the differences, please.

    They are nazis not 'nationalists', and proud of it.
    And they tried to ethnic cleanse the east of ex-ukraine from ethnic Russians who that scum saw as inferior.
    Quit your pathetic 'trolling' BS.
    They were nazis long before Russia intervened.
    And is shouting 'jews out' also trolling Russians?
    You are simply a nazi apologist.
