    idk Azov proved to be disturbingly motivated fighters. Sure some of them are like this, but let’s not underestimate committed fascists as fighters. Their danger goes beyond rhetoric and policy after all

        They are not heroic, but they are dangerous. They held out longer than most Ukrainians, and they are highly motivated. A troop who doesn’t want to be there will surrender sooner and be less inclined to massacre more civilians at great risk to themselves. Azov would rather murder random Greek citizens of Mariupol than actually focus on defending. It is not the Russian forces who they are a threat to
