?? It's the Russian apologists saying the Ukrainians are Nazi's when as pointed out repeatedly, there is not a single Nazi alive. Why would Nazi's vote for a Jewish president in a landslide? Zelensky got over 70% of the vote.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azov_Battalion

Azov Special Operations Detachment (Ukrainian: Окремий загін спеціального призначення «Азов», romanized: Okremyi zahin spetsialnoho pryznachennia "Azov"), often known as Azov Detachment, Azov Regiment (Ukrainian: Полк Азов, romanized: Polk Azov), or Azov Battalion (until September 2014), is a right-wing extremist[1] and neo-Nazi[2][3][4] unit of the National Guard of Ukraine,[5][6][7] based in Mariupol, in the Azov Sea coastal region.[8] It saw its first combat experience recapturing Mariupol from pro-Russian separatists forces in June 2014.[5] Azov initially formed as a volunteer militia on 5 May 2014 during the Odessa clashes.[9] On 12 November 2014, Azov was incorporated into the National Guard of Ukraine, and since then all members are contract soldiers serving in the National Guard of Ukraine.[10]

Ukraine’s national guard tweeted a video showing Azov fighters coating their bullets in pig fat to be used allegedly against Muslim Chechens – allies of Russia – deployed in their country.

Putin's claim that "nazis" are prevalent in Ukraine is so beyond false it's not even laughable. Russians are known for hating jews, a very long history of it too.

It's time to put those Jan. 6th rioters on a plane to Ukraine. They can fight for freedom that they're so passionate about. They can show how to fight for freedom. Ukraine would welcome them with open arms.
