It's 2022 and this hasn't aged well for Ukraine to be honest.

Is fake news I guess. According to facts checkers

Any second now the angry Russians will arrive!

[@The10000league]

Of course Russians are angry and so are Jews, Poles, and other people killed by Nazis. The men in this video belong to a Neo-Nazi paramilitary called Azov Battalion.

People in Ukraine want to either join EU so they can leave for a better life in an EU country or join Russia so they can have a better life in their own country!

[@briggsbughouses6291]

Was this from 2015 or 1938?

[@t16205]

yes

[@e21big]

advance under fire - that's dangerous

[@reis1185]

Just commenting until you delete this video

[@unkechapt48]

Yes they will fight. The question is what do they want the nation to be like. Not what the west wants I think.

[@alfabravo80]

Well I suppose it's good to see them with rifles instead of shovels, now that the ground is too hard for digging mass graves for civilians, because the "feared battalion" will have to fight for their lives and crimes.

[@danielmori501]

West is currently arming them

[@r3n736]

Well now most of them are in graves if they are lucky or in pieces rotting in the battlefield.

[@harveycarcass7197]

....besides the CIA, Mossad and MI6?

[@wegawind8747]

Nesquik NowWithCacao Not really the Mossad but surely the CIA. You wouldn't really claim that the US agencies are NOT involved, considering their history? Btw, I don't know the illerminati (sure sounds dangerous), probably even more mysterious than the Illuminati?

[@harveycarcass7197]

***** It's already been proven that many of the ISIS fighters are mossad trained. Notice no ISIS or ISIL attacks on israel...I wonder why?

[@KazimierzSurma]

There is no Azov Batallion in Mariupol anymore.

The neo nazis in azov bt are just a means to an end, they do what ukraine needs them to do. I'm not fond of anti semites but Ukraine doesn't have many allies in this fight so we can't complain.

[@CaptainBarbaros92]

i'm sorry but i didn't understand what you were trying to imply with your comment.are you calling me a nazi or are you trying to say something else?

[@jasonuren3479]

@Zero Down It's really revealing watching reports on this from a few years back, yes? Shows how much the propaganda reporting still goes on and how it's switched around to suit the west's narrative. And judging by most comments, the majority of people believe it.

[@matthews1082]

The Ukrainians do have a long love affair with Nazism - there was even an Ukrainian unit within the Waffen SS.

[@robshepherd3782]

They have NATO now and its doing the nazis no good is it.

[@matthews1082]

@@robshepherd3782 Actually it is doing the Neo Nazis plenty of good. I now see Neo Nazi flags and symbols on NATO trained regular units of the Ukrainian army - Nazism is no longer confined to the few battalions reported by the BBC or Banned by the US Congress - it is now prevalent in the Ukrainian army.

[@fozzy0266]

LMFAO typical bbc propaganda.

[@tkvsevolod]

How is this a propaganda? They show both sides' point of view.

[@fozzy0266]

tkvsevolod Propaganda in the respect that they are portraying the Azov battalion as having neo nazi and right wing nationalist ideology, BUT that's ok because they are willing to fight for Ukraine? Just a touch hypocritical, if not propaganda.

[@tkvsevolod]

fozzy0266 they're just trying to remain neutral and lay out the facts. They never said it's ok that they are neo nazis, and ultra nationalists. They're trying to not represent any particular side aka no bias.

[@SmeeUncleJoe]

These guys are so naïve. Zelensky a Semite and his masters in the State Department, Nuland and Blinken, also Semite Jews have put these guys exactly where they know they will be shredded by Russian troops. The Russians want a land bridge to Crimea so Zelensky sends them to defend Mariupol which is the linchpin city to that land bridge. That's why the Russians are hammering it. Putin's grandparents, Uncles and two older brothers were all murdered by the German Nazis, so this is a clever move, one must admit. Target practice for the russians.

[@VioletLife8]

Well said. Also, if you take a look at what Ukraine did to Poland 🇵🇱, that was mind blowing to Nazi Germany. Also... The referendum to fight NeoNazism is voted YES by many countries in the world inclusive Russia. The countries that voted against are 🇺🇦, 🇺🇸 and all countries in 🇪🇺. Putin is on to that fight. I wish nobody would fight and we have world peace though..
