    Most of those went back home within days of reaching Ukraine. A lot spread stories of their experience to get others to not go too. They realised it was a complete and total shit show and turned around.

    The others are de-nazified.

      I know about the Reddit Brigade, but I meant the actual neo-Nazis from the US and Europe who trained with the Azovs during the Ukrainian Civil War back in 2014-15. Did they volunteer and got de-nazified as well?

        Most either didn't go or if they did they died at Azovstal.

        The biggest problem in Europe are the italian fascists that were building connections at the start of the war. It's very likely that they received weapons and explosives.

        The might be some up in Poland too but I have a harder time understanding the state of smuggling and the borders there, seems stronger.

          Also Azov has refused to fight at Avdiivka or Chasiv Yar, and is now openly defying the Ukraine command by keeping forces in Kiev
