The Azovs told about it in the address of their regiment to Russia, which was published in the Telegram , Ukrinform reports.
"We despise Nazism and Stalinism. Because our country has suffered the most from these totalitarian regimes and false ideology. Kremlin propaganda calls us Nazis and fascists, and ourselves liberators who came to "denazify" Ukraine. And the truth is this: our land has been vilely attacked by an insidious monster, and it is our right and duty to protect it. Azov is at the forefront of this defense, "the appeal reads.
Azov stressed that usually "Keep the thief!" the thief himself shouts the loudest.
Today, our soldiers wrote, the whole world is living in a time of great deception, great lies and tiny truths. Billions of dollars are spent on creating the illusion of greatness and promoting anti-human ideas of the "Russian measure". The same that brings destruction, death, suffering, hunger and fear. The only weapon in this struggle remains - the Truth.
Azov is a unit of the Naguard, which was formed from volunteers in 2014, after Russia seized Crimea, part of Luhansk and Donetsk regions. It is a unit staffed by Ukrainians, Russians, Jews, Greeks, Georgians, Crimean Tatars and Belarusians. Soldiers of different faiths have been serving side by side in this unit for 8 years: Orthodox, Catholics, Protestants, pagans, Jews and Muslims, most of whom speak Russian.
"Nazism is the unquenchable need to kill people who dare to be free. It is the confidence in one's right to some kind of supremacy and it is the confidence in the right to rule other nations, while raping and plundering other states. Doesn't it remind you of anything? ” - Ukrainian defenders ask.
