Media continue to whitewash neo-Nazi-led Azov regiment, which surrendered in #Mariupol, & new #Azov units which were organized & led after start of #Russian invasion by National Corp, civilian wing of #Azov. Proxy war outweighs democracy in #Ukraine. thetimes.co.uk/article/azov-b…

Like it used neo-Nazi-led Azov regiment to justify its illegal invasion of Ukraine under pretext of "denazification" & to falsely claim that Nazis share power in Ukraine, #Russia would use new #Azov units to continue its war in #Ukraine & to annex more territories of Ukraine.

This neo-Nazi-led #Azov Kraken battalion, which was implicated in shooting Russian POWs, along with its @thetimes whitewash would be used by #Russian propaganda during Russia's war in #Ukraine. It's like renamed al-Qaeda was whitewashed during #Syria war. bbc.com/news/60907259

Open whitewashing of #Azov by media continues.
