    literally all they have to say in the article is that azov hasn’t attacked any lgbtq+ people (probably a false claim), and that they accepted money from a queer organization. even if they weren’t virulently homo/transphobic, that’s pretty far from allyship

      Definitely a false claim, even according to Radio Free Europe:

      Olena Shevchenko, an activist for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community, wrote on Facebook that police did “nothing” to prevent the group of right-wing Azov and Pravy Sektor battalion members from disturbing the October 18 event in the city of Chernivtsi.

      …

      She also said two men – one Ukrainian and one German – suffered light injuries after being attacked by Azov members.

      I have no source to link but I’ve read dozens of small stories of Nazis attacking (among other demographics) queers in Ukraine. It is absolutely a false claim.
