    Why? It’s not like they’re Nazis:

    The movement’s extremist ideology has never been much of a secret. Its fighters have been photographed covered with far-right tattoos and insignia, while the regiment is identifiable by the Nazi Wolfsangel logo on their uniforms (the group has denied the symbol carries a Nazi connotation). And the movement is driven by figures with deep roots in Ukraine’s extreme-right scene.

      Tbf all the original Nazis died. These are the guys the Ukraine military says “hey, put this one in the Nazi regiment.”

      That doesn’t mean they’re all Nazis! It means the military command thought they’d fit in best with the Nazis!
