Azov SSO & several other new units which have sprung up during the war, if anything, represent a further blurring of any arbitrary boundaries between Azov movement's "political" (eg Nat'l Corps) and military subdivisions, as political activists return to battlefield leadership

Focus on more important question - like why your government is dragging feet regarding MRLS, or you will have no logos to discuss and instead will be able to research genocide.

What I do not understand is, why is everyone so surprised that self identified patriots with strongest views choose to defend their country?

If it was only about defending their country, and not #WhiteSupremacy, anti-multicultural ideology.
If Ukraine wants to become member of the EU, this is important to know about the legal system that requires adjustment of local law to match Article 21:

Are the 3 swords referring to this?
