    Wagner PMC was a major part of the initial push into Ukraine, Wagner PMC was a de facto arm of the Russian military, just held at arms length for plausible deniability.

    Wagner PMC was named such, because Wagner was Hitler’s favorite composer, the founder has literal SS tattoos and has been personally granted half a dozen awards by Putin. Utkin passed the leadership of Wagner over to Yevgeny Prigozhin (who lead the mutiny) in 2016, but is still listed as a commander, and still apparently runs the backend of the mercenary group.

        So your response to a Russian state sponsored Nazi military group is to say that there were quasi-nazi militias in Ukraine? Groups that did not in fact have the backing of the Ukrainian government?

        Not like the fucking Wagner group, who Putin personally sent to do his dirty work in half a dozen countries. A literal group of convicts and Nazis that Putin has sent to war in exchange for full pardons.

        Fuck off with your Russian Nazi propaganda.
