Mandatory fuck the Azov battalion comment

I don't get it, didn't they have an agreement that they won't bring them home from Turkey until the end of the war ? Might be harder to negotiate prisoners freedom after this

Don't look up Zelensky's dubious policies or you'll find yourself in a rabbit hole. Also you'll labeled a putin puppet, a terrorist, a tankie, a blablabla.

“This shows clearly that Russia finds itself in a situation where violating agreements with Russia has become the norm,” Sergei Markov, a former Kremlin adviser, wrote on Telegram. “Because Russia does not respond. Out of humility or humanism. It needs to respond. Respond in such a way that will instill fear,” Markov said.

Lol remember when Putin tried to bully Turkey out of the grain deal? Yeah I'm putting my money on Erdogan over Putin

Thanks for the link. I thought I remembered that there was something off about the Azov battalion. I find it interesting that the OP's article didn't mention the groups Neo-Nazism at all. Don't get me wrong, I support Ukraine in the war, but ignoring stuff like this also poses a risk.

The individuals in question are not Neo-Nazis
