Its starts off with the host defining Wagner as mercenaries, continue to refer to them using that term. What did I miss?
It is a fact Putin was using mercenaries including battle harden Syrian fighters. Zelensky made a public global call for volunteers, how many are far right nutjobs from all over the Western world?
Is Azov a mercenary unit or permanent wages paid for my AFU and included as a regimented fighting battalion? How about Aisar? Azov altered their insignia and just like magic they are like the new Aisar?
"After a "careful selection of soldiers", it was then reorganized as the 24th Separate Assault Battalion of the Ukrainian Army.[1] Lieutenant Colonel Yevhen Ptashnik was appointed as commander of the battalion.[1] The 24th Separate Assault Battalion was made part of the 10th Mountain Assault Brigade in January 2016.[20] Later it became a part of the 53rd Mechanized Brigade."
Is this kinda like the Canadian SF arming and training Azov but "forgot" to ask them if they are neo-Nazis? Don't ask don't tell?
Both sides are using mercenaries whether they are paid or on a volunteer basis so at least be honest in your reporting. I am not denying some RF soldiers are nazis, can you be certain any Oz SAS are not Muslim haters? How about that bloke taking the aesthetic leg as a trophy to drink beer from and proudly taking pictures? Does that make the SAS ALL Muslim haters or just a few individual bad apples? Your apples quote is misleading.
