The Azov Battalion is a volunteer militia based in Mariupol, Ukraine that is allegedly linked to neo-Nazism. The fighters have been very active during the crisis in eastern Ukraine, carrying out nightly patrols around the city and manning checkpoints.
VICE News correspondent Simon Ostrovsky embeds with the battalion while they train and conduct a patrol, then watches as they retreat from their outposts when pro-Russia separatists began firing artillery toward the city.

If all of a sudden 50% of the population declared that Australia was part of China, I'd be up in arms defending Australia for its right as its own country, just like the Ukrainians are doing. We may have ties to NATO and the West given our former British-colonial status and culture, but we are still effectively an independant Nation.

@jeremykaleschenkoikov6993 5 лет назад

I think it may have something to do with the behavior and imagery. Venerating the SS Battalion of Ukrainian volunteers and the fighters of Stephan Bandera. The countless published imagery of Ukrainian army and volunteer Battalion with swastika, wolf hook, Nordic sun and other Nazi imagery. The tactics they've used in maidan along with the propaganda of svaboda and right sector. It really is not a stretch at all to insinuate it.

Yes, NATO spent billions over 8 years training and arming the Nazis, but it only helped increase civilian casualties. Now there are a few thousand of the most powerful NATO-trained group left stranded at the Azovstal plant and the Russian Federation is offering them to surrender, but Kiev needs them more as sacred victims, like the Heavenly Hundred on the Maidan in 2014, no one is going to unblock them. If NATO financed not Nazis, but, for example, children of athletes, there would be less bloodshed in the world.

There were no bombings, the Ukrainians took this city very quickly. There was almost no resistance. The locals tried to put up barricades, but they were quickly dismantled. There is a video on the Internet from May 9, 2014, how everything happened. The thing is that Azovstal is a very large enterprise and belonged to the oligarch Akhmetov (he created Azov). Therefore, he could not lose his wealth.

i am the most politically disengaged person, but even I remember the stronghold far-right, nazis in ukraine had on their govt. back in 2014-2015. I remember seeing these vice reportings and being digusted by them. So to hear just a few years later, western powers are financially backing these nazis and then turning to media outlets to say that "Azov aren't fascists" and "that's just Russian propaganda" makes me feel like im losing my mind. Manufacturing consent happening in real time. And the everyday ukrainian's suffer regardless. Non-western countries suffer bc they are reliant on euro economies & industry. I despise the west.

@@user-fj1tc6dq2c nazism is a type of fascism. it’s just fascism with an added layer of white supremacy, antisemitism, eugenics, and silly beliefs about the “aryan race” etc. on top. The azov battalion subscribes to those beliefs, so they could accurately be called nazis and/or fascists.

Another history lesson from 1939 when Winter War started and the first guys crossed the Finnish border, 3 hours after Helsinki got bombed. The "Sergei Lavrov" of 1939 Molotov, when called for answers by US said "We aren't bombing Helsinki, we are going for airports" So nothing really does change. Some country gets attacked, the reason gets denied and no one really helps.

If the Vice reporters been there have they seen any of those?

@WeedSmokinRepublican 9 лет назад

If they did Vice won't report. The militia group does in fact have varying degrees of "facism" within its ranks. They use more of the symbols of Nazism like swastikas but aren't really praising Hitler. Eastern Ukrainians are predominantly ethnic Russians not Ukrainians. That's why the civilians are attacked by pro-Kiev militias as well as the government. At the end of the day the strongest will survive.

To give the Ukranians the benefit of the doubt, it isn't smart to clump together in a single location when you are being attacked with rockets. Scattering in different directions mitigates the damage from any direct hit so that could have been what they were doing there.

Naturally the pro Russians in eastern Ukraine (and Crimea) was outraged and started peacefully protesting on the streets of Donbas so the government sent Ukrainian troops to shut them up.
