I'm very aware of groups like the Azov Batallion and Right Sektor and a few others. But isn't it also true that the Azov Batallion is only a tiny portion of their military and the far right ultranationalist groups don't hold any seats in their government?
I don't think anyones denying Ukraine has nazis. But the US and pretty much every other country also has nazis.
Is there something I'm missing with Ukraine? Again, the raw numbers just don't seem that major.
The Nazis in Ukraine aren't a majority, or even a huge portion of the population. But they exercise a disproportionate influence over the government by forming what is essentially a state within the state, which is what Azov battalion and various other groups are. These groups have been able to sabotage any attempt at the Ukrainian government moderating towards Russia.
