Is it everywhere the same? East or West, #Nazis are everywhere?!
While the far-right worldview of the Azov movement is clear, there has been an intense debate on whether the #Azov Battalion should be classed a “foreign terrorist organization” by the US Department of State.
“People always assume it (the Azov regiment and Azov movement) is one Death Star,” Rekawek said. “Year by year, the connections (between the regiment and the movement) are looser,” he said, explaining that the battalion’s ranks now include Ukrainians who have no affinity with its neo-Nazi past.
Ritzmann says the #far-right element in #Ukraine’s army is no different to what’s been detected in other militaries, such as in #Germany and the #US.
“Presumably, far-right extremists serve in the Ukrainian military as they do in all other militaries – valid data regarding the exact numbers are not available,” he said.
If it is everywhere the same, then I can understand why more and more countries are trying to dissociate themselves from white #supremacists.
