      I would actually like them if they weren’t nazis.

      I support the ukrainian people’s fight against russian fascism, but will nevet support ukrainian fascists.

        Nazis that fight for their Jewish president… But yes. The Russian propaganda is more important than facts.

        I appreciate that you are trying to keep a nuanced view of things and not trying to support an ‘enemy of my enemy is my friend’ mindset. Unironically, I absolutely agree with your stance regarding not supporting Nazis even when a common foe is about.

        However, as outlined, Azov is, at this point, not much more than an ordinary Ukrainian National Guard unit with a sordid origin and a very questionable symbol it’s retained from that, not unlike the symbol of Finland’s air force.
