Yeah, yeah, it is like they just popped into existence on February 24.

If Ukraine government was really bothered with them they wouldn't exist now (or at least they wouldn't be a part of the country military forces) and it couldn't be used by Putin as one of the means to justify the invasion. Yet...

There is fascists in America and in most European countries. There is more white supremacists in America than Azov members in Ukraine(in %), but the GOP still exists, and there is American senators against interracial marriage.

There is literal nazis in any army in the world. Armies are rarely full of peaceful left leaning people.

putin doesn't need a reason. for anything. he murdered people for decades without repercussions, why would he need any kind of justification?
