It is not 'fake news' it is true. Azov Battalion have been fighting alongside Ukrainians for years against Putin, and Russia. [0] Even Facebook is praising them [1]
> Or just a small that is being inflated in order to make Ukraine look bad. Biased angle? Is there another reason mainstream media doesn't pick up on this?
The mainstream media is not reporting on this because it further attempts to legitimise Putin's 'de-nazifying' Ukraine narrative by using Azov Battalion as an excuse to invade. Then he will fallaciously point out that 'The west is on the side of supporting neo-Nazis' which will give bad optics for Ukraine and split opinion in Russia and the rest of Europe.
Sometimes the mainstream media doesn't report the whole story, and just simply hides it and promotes their own propaganda. Multiple sources always tell you the full story.
