Anyone questioning that the Azov battalion are nazis needs to do their research…. They are not the only ones. Research the C14 group. And look at western media coverage of both these groups 3+ years ago and how the western media was criticising western governments for supporting nazis.

There is a ship with mostly bulgarians on it, they were hold as hostages by the Ukrainians.. and now they will lost control over Miriupol.. The war is fucking shit but i hope russians let our people go.. since a month a full ship (17 bulgarians) are hiding, no food. And our country doesn't do shit apart from one parliamentary group. Sadly they don't have the power to do something in that case.

Since the war started. I predict that everything East of Dnieper river will belong to Russia. And thats the only way i think this conflict could end or stop for a while because the river would play a role of a natural border. But until that happens. A lot of people will still die. And a lot things can still happen.

Unfortunately, Putin should have been strained out in 2014 when he started his nonsense then. He’s been doing this nonsense ever since. He feels he can do what he wants & no one will stop him, since no one has ever tried! I want to see Elon Must fight Putin for Ukraine… that will be interesting!

Bro Azov isn't neo Nazi anymore. Although true that nationalists were the creators of it. It was partly absorbed by the Ukrainian army and completely revamped. Like for God sake, there are Chechens, Tajiks and Georgians fighting in Azov battalion. Not very good neo Nazi's huh?
