# Ukranian Nazis
>In 2015, the New York Times described
Ukraine's Azov Battalion as "openly
neo-Nazi!"
Today, NYT's @antontroian describes
Azov as "far-right."
What happened? Did Azov complete
a special training program that takes
open neo-Nazis and turns then into a
more palatable far-right?

Good thing they were eradicated and have nothing to do with the current fight for independence.
Since 2015‽ Surely you jest. These Nazis are proud of their heritage, and they aren't bashful.
No jesting. Current govt of Ukraine are not Nazis. Azov is a Russian false flag. Like, it existed. Sure. But not in any capacity that hold any power.
Oh!
Your serious...
"Azov is a Russian false flag."
That sounds like propaganda from the same people that lie about everything. Like: that covid wasn't made in a US funded lab in China; that the vaccine would stop the virus " in its tracks"; like there was Russian election interference, and there definitely are WMDs in Iraq. They just didn't manage to find any.
Somebody has been bombing the hell out of the Donbas for eight years leading up to this war. And that in violation of the treaty Ukraine had with them. It's the Nazi slogan, Ukranians for Ukraine. I saw that on a BBC report from 8 years ago.
Something is terribly wrong in Ukraine.
