What do you think about the Azov battalion's members openly saying they consider themselves actual Nazis?

What race are Ukrainians even considered? As far as I know, they're Slavs. And I mean, Hitler deemed slavs sub human, why would they align with Nazism? Not saying it's any better but plain nationalism I think would be more understandable

That is just an excuse Putin has used to attack Ukraine.

@msros is it though? That article is from 2014, they openly admit having Nazi ideals

@Andromedanian There are neo-Nazis in many countries, so why single out Ukraine?

@msros because then again, it's kinda weird how them, as Slavs, identify with a movement that whose original members would have seen them as second class human beings
