Oh, yea, the Ukrain military has a bit of a nazi problem but the time to deal with that is not when you are being invaded. Also the nazi talking point is mostly a red herring anyways since the nazi problem in Russia is magnitudes worse and isn’t limited to their military.
So it’s technically not wrong but tankies don’t really have a problem with nazies, otherwise they wouldn’t be defending Russia, they are anti USA and will side with anything that’s even close to that side with no regards to any other belief. I’m not a fan of the US either but I’m not going to blindly support anything against it either.

Sure. You can find ideologically opposite militias fighting for Ukraine too, though. Zelensky is in charge and he’s obviously not a Nazi. Singling Azov out without the context is basically a propaganda technique.
Also, Russia is acting a lot like Nazis from the very highest levels, except a shittier more openly corrupt version.

Yeah I don’t disagree that the overall claim by Russia is bullshit, that doesn’t take away from the fact they do exist and are outwardly nazi.
