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.

    Got it right here. SS logo and everything. But you're right, it's not really a battalion strength formation. But I bet the Marines have a couple of battalions worth of fascists spread out through the organization, not counting the entire officer corps.

      True, but if you do that you have to count all the fascists spread throughout the Ukrainian military as well.
