Speaking of facts, the Azov Battallion--- even prior to its recent reinforcement from the Western Ukrainian units--- rained terror and death on Donbas for eight years. Not until this year did they face any real military opposition----and their free-for-all finally began to end with their en masse surrender @Smokin Joe
While I admit I don't understand the embrace and passionate defense of this group of animals, I do know neither will change the reality of their history.
I am neither embracing nor passionately defending this particular group.
That said, 1000 men (exaggerated starting battalion strength) cannot be everywhere at once, and only constituted a small fraction of those defending their homeland from the Russian invasion.
Yet you never fail to conflate
all those defenders with the Azov Battalion, who likely were either killed or captured at Mariupol, in effect, calling EVERY Ukrainian a Nazi. Which leaves you defending the Communists, because, like it or not, this is a dichotomy. Your posts have been anything but neutral; you have taken a side, that of the invaders.
I was just pointing out that, with attrition, considering Mariupol, they are probably at less than 1/10 strength, if that (100 men or less). I might also have the temerity to mention that the horrors and destruction wreaked on the region by the Russians surely outclass anything the Azov bunch did, simply because there were a lot more buildings standing and live civilians there before the Russians invaded, kidnapped people and moved them to "safety" (children and parents separated, of course, a model we have seen before).
Yet you consistently mention Azov as if they were the only Ukrainian fighters in this, rather than a small minority of the Ukrainians fighting to repel a murderous and destructive invader from their homeland. For the benefit of others reading this post, I feel it necessary to point out this fact, that at their most, "Nazis" are a very small part of the overall contingent defending Ukraine from the Russian invasion.
