I mean sure we can talk about it. The only problem imo is that I mostly only hear people talk about it as a reason we shouldn’t defend Ukraine which I don’t think makes a whole lot of sense. But obviously we shouldn’t all have to pretend that this group of Neo-Nazis are particularly good people

Neo-Naziism is extremely common throughout Eastern Europe. Part of it is the social realities of Eastern Europe being less developed than the west (as occurred in east Germany). And part of it is that people try to seize upon an alternative to communism, and the primary anti-communist militant groups from those countries histories were often fascist-aligned.

There’s about as many neo Nazis in the Ukraine army as Russia.

They’re not in all honesty, very overstated. Genuinely around the same amount of far right actors in Ukrainian military as there are within many others. Not surprising or unknown.
