    The US has to stop sending weapons to nazis and white supremacists

    You honestly think anyone in Russia cares about neonazi? You do know that large swaths of oligarchs in modern Russia were formerly members of Soviet era organized crime? Where nazi symbolism was used as a symbol for anti establishment counter culture.

    Why do you think their largest pmc was founded by a self confessed neonazi who named it “Wagner”?

    Does Ukraine have a problem with neo nazi groups? Yes, pretty much every country in the former Soviet block has a problem with reactionary fascist paramilitary groups, including Russia.

    The real difference is that in Ukraine they don’t have any power in the civil government, which can’t be said for Russia.

    If Russia really cares about Nazism, they would have handled their own problems with it first. They wouldn’t have created an entire pmc out of them.
