That's the verified account of the National Guard of Ukraine btw.

Edit for context: Kadyrov is the Head of Chechnya, a majority Muslim republic of Russia. Chechen troops are arriving in Ukraine as part of the war.

Azov - a neo-Nazi Battalion within the National Guard of Ukraine - are greasing their bullets with lard out of the idiotic Islamophobic idea that Muslims believe getting shot by one will send them to hell (which is definitely not at all how haram rules work).

For bonus racism, the author of this tweet is calling said Muslim Chechens "orcs".

But Westerners say Ukraine doesn't have Nazis. But then this was so bad that even Twitter can't deny it.

Edit 2: Can't believe I forgot to link the tweet: https://twitter.com/ng_ukraine/status/1497924614865002497

    I think that's a policy not specific to this tweet. Any tweet with that tag seems to have the ability to comment removed and the existing comments hidden in a way they can't be found. But at the same time, you can still quote tweet it.

    Pretty bad policy IMO, they should at least leave the existing comments.

    The dumbest part is their rational:

    We try to prevent a Tweet like this that otherwise breaks the Twitter Rules from reaching more people, so we have disabled most of the ways to engage with it. If you want to talk about it, you can still Quote Tweet.

    Except quote tweets reach much more people than replies. A quote tweet reaches every follower of whoever is quote tweeting, a reply doesn't.

    Although from a technical standpoint a quote tweet is just a normal tweet that includes a link to the tweet being quoted so it's hard to disallow quote tweets.
