>>>A fringe group that has 0 political power does not make "Ukrainian are nazis" any more true

Read Bellingcat's coverage of the problem from 2019: https://www.bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-europe/2019/11/11/ukr...

Azov members have close access to major Ukrainian politicians, including Arsen Avakov, the (now-former) Interior Minister.

I agree that inviting representatives of right-wing groups to a meeting with Zelensky on veterans affairs is a political mistake.

That does not negate the fact that these right-wing organizations, including "Right Sector" had negligible popular support and won exactly 0 seats in Verhovna Rada.

Again a very poor reason to invade a neighboring country

Azov is not what you think it is.

It is like complaining that a general has access to any Ministry.
