Agree with what you say in the article. What I can’t get my head round is that despite this, Azov appears to work with a Jewish president and other Jewish ministers. This is I don’t understand and is what the media/US uses to suggest that they are not really antisemitic or nazis. It does seem a contradiction. I did read somewhere that they did have some influence in that they threatened in the past that if he compromised with Russia he would be out (of govt), so perhaps it is their existence that has prevented peace. Any thoughts on how this contradiction can be reconciled?
Hello Emmanuelle, thank you for reading. Good question. I think firstly Zelensky is there as himself rather than as a Jew. I saw somewhere that he said a few years ago that being Jewish wasn’t so important to him. Not in his top ten list.
Also Azov and the police unit were already in place before he was president. It’s possible that he thought he could get rid of them and found out it was not possible.
My feeling is that the US or others are calling the shots, not him.
Also you get people of all backgrounds who will work solely in their own interests.

US definitely calling the shots but don’t know how it is going to pan out. Hope it is over soon.
Yes, it’d be great if it stopped soon. The media and governments ramping up the rhetoric is awful.
