What exactly have a done wrong? I'm highlighting articles that have mentioned the Nazi problem in the Ukrainian army and you're threatening to block me from the thread?

Don't feed the Russian troll.
Why exaggerate the number of neo nazis ? ,
I wouldn't say a % of the Azov regiment which comprises say 900 to 2500 members , shall we say 25%? So 200 to 500 soldiers out of a likely total mobilised Ukraine army strength of 500,000. Ie less than 0.1%
Its not actually lots is it?

Seems that exactly the opposite has happened - "these guys" are now a small minority in an army made up of ordinary people forced by circumstance into combat.
Ukraine had all sorts of problems prior to the invasion, but nevertheless is a democracy led by a Jew.
Whereas Russia is a fascist state led by a murderor.

Direct from your 'article of proof'.This is an article from 2018
Commentary: Ukraine’s neo-Nazi problem
As Ukraine's struggle against Russia and its proxies continues, Kiev must also contend with a growing problem behind the front lines: far-right vigilantes who are willing to use intimidation and even violence to advance their agendas, and who often do so with the tacit approval of law...www.reuters.com
These guys now make a large part of the Ukrainian army. Talks about Nazis being extremely powerful in Ukraine just didn't start last year. Its been that way for years now. Anyone who denies that Ukraine has a Nazi problem is living in denial.
"To be clear, the Kremlin’s claims that Ukraine is a hornets’ nest of fascists are false: far-right parties performed poorly in Ukraine’s last parliamentary elections, and Ukrainians reacted with alarm to the National Militia’s demonstration in Kiev.'
You really need to stop digging !

You're coming across as an apologist for the nonces, randomly spouting nonce propaganda, in the aftermath of a nonce made disaster.

But hey if you think it justifies Russia's actions then good for you. But I don't see the relevance of you repeating Russian propaganda. Unless of course your a Russian and Putin fan?? Are you and if not why do you repeat Russian propaganda ?
Have you highlighted the same problem that exists in your favoured countries army.

I apologize to anyone who must have mistaken the point I was trying to make. I'm not on the side of the Russians. All I was just trying to point out is that it would be terrible if one of the neo Nazis got to the highest rank in the army after the war or if one possibly takes over from Zelensky in the future.
It'll be best for the Ukrainians to curb the situation before it gets out of hand. Reducing the number of neo-nazis to just a "handful" or turning a blind eye is how a supposedly minor situation could get out of hand in the future. It would be silly for anyone to think that I'm on the side of some guy who decided to roll up on another nation for no reason.

Fair enough, but for clarity that wasn't the actual point you made.
