Snips:
The Ukrainian Border Guard Service has sparked social media uproar after posting a photo of a service member with several distinctively Nazi symbols on his uniform and weapon. The image appeared on the border agency’s official Facebook page in late October but has drawn public attention only recently.

The only difference between the Nazi eagle and the one the soldier in question is sporting on his uniform is the Ukrainian trident coat of arms in place of the Nazi swastika inside the laurel. The same soldier is also seen holding an assault rifle with the SS bolts on one of its handles. The SS lightning bolts were a symbol of the Nazi Party’s paramilitary organization, which was condemned at the Nuremberg Tribunal and has since become popular among neo-Nazi and far-right groups.

The post also caused a stir on social media platform X in December. Ukrainian journalist Anatoly Shariy was one of the first to draw attention to the issue by mocking Kiev’s and the West’s claims that there are “no Nazis” in Ukraine. Some users on X then openly branded border guards “SS fanatics,” who force ordinary Ukrainians to fight Russia. The agency has been known for the harsh tactics it uses against military-age men trying to flee the country in a bid to avoid being drafted.
Has there ever been a picture posted of a Ukrainian soldier without Nazi insignia? Or, at least, of a group of Ukrainian soldiers where none of them have Nazi insignia?
Not only they wear Nazi insignia, they are basing their whole national identity on Bandera’s legacy, collaboration with nazi germany and UPA (Ukrainian Insurgent Army) known for their genocide on Poles during WW2. They continue to build statues of their genocidal heroes, regularly creating uproar in Polish media which, surprisingly, has no effect on official diplomatic stance or politics (including extension of social programs to include Ukrainian nationals and their children with no control over their whereabouts). One might wonder what kind of dirt SBU (Security Service of Ukraine) has on Polish politicians from both sides of the scene…

SBU likely don't have anything. CIA on the other hand... but it's pretty unlikely it's even needed, it's all hinges on a hate of Russia
I never read the comments on news articles but I figured maybe RT would be better since it isn't western propaganda? Nope. All the comments are blaming the jews for this
RT is really funny (at least on telegram) because if you go to the english version you'll see that the comments are all raging neo nazies going ''its THE JEWS!!!'' at everything.
But if you go to the latinamerican RT channel the comments are lenin quotes
if you look at the comments that this article gets on liberal platforms and instances; you'll see the same comments from the same bots.
not even lemmy is safe from it; especially the diet-reddit instances.
Yes, the same bots spam all the world's news sites.
It's because who comments, in English version the comments are usually from the westerners who are against current liberal empire. Which means mostly open nazis that didn't got the memo it's theirs empire too, hence the glaring stupidity. And bots ofc.
