Nearly 8,000 mercenaries from the notorious Wagner Group have been deployed by Russia in Ukraine to boost Vladimir Putin's flagging invasion, but have suffered heavy casualties, British MPs have been told.

Giving evidence to the Commons Foreign Affairs Committee, Christo Grozev, executive director of the Bellingcat investigative website, said 3,000 members of the private military company (PMC) were thought to have been killed on the battlefield.

The shadowy group - which has been linked to a string of killings, rapes and war crimes around the world - is known as Putin's private army which carries out his dirty work at an arm's length from the state, while giving him plausible deniability.

From what I have deduced, the term “Nazi” is being equated to patriot. Those who love their country and willing to give their lives defending it are being called “Nazi” by those who want to denigrate Ukraine. Frankly, I admire the Ukrainian grit in taking on one of the strongest and fiercest armies on the globe.

True Ukrainian grit is shown by kidnapping, torturing and murdering dissidents.

It's what UkroNazis do best.

Because we all know that Russia under Putin it a paragon of civil rights!

You are painting the Ukrainians with a very broad brush.

Is Rand Paul a “neocon dupe” now, too? He’s over on my side fully supporting Ukraine. Meanwhile, Russian imperalist nazis and their useful idiots in the west are on the other side of this issue.

It seems they are using “Nazi” in the same way the left does, which would just mean “anyone who isn’t a communist”.

Can’t be both.

You are right. But it is a false choice.

The shadow people who put Joe Biden in office are the international supervillains who provoked Vlad Putin into launching an ill-advised invasion...etc.

Clever plans often go wrong. This one is going to cost more than it was worth.

Neo Nazi working for a Jew? Are you really this stupid?

You make it sound as if there were no collaborators during WWII.

Or is Joe Biden an international supervillain who is able to mind control Vlad Putin into launching an ill-advised invasion of a country

If it was the real Biden, why would he even jokingly want the country that laundered his money to be invaded? Have you forgotten that Hunter was on the board of Burisma with no relevant education in petroleum engineering?

Appropriating Nazi imagery to make themselves fell like real badasses, like some biker gangs and the Aryan Brotherhood. This is not to say they’re not a nasty piece of work. But they’ve not the Dirlewanger Brigade either. Hopefully they won’t get to that point.

It’s not “appropriating” when they get tattoos.

Aryan brotherhood members have plenty of tattoos linked to Nazism and Hitler. Plus it seems like these days people get tattoos like changing hats.

No, I’m good. I just asked a simple question you apparently can’t answer. Is Rand Paul a “neocon dupe” now?

There are no Ukrainians in Ukraine. They are all Russians. LOL

That’s all well and good, but most posters around here just describe all Ukrainians as “Nazis”, not just the Azov battalion.

If having some part of your army displaying Nazi regalia makes the whole country into “Nazis”, then the Russians are twice the Nazis that the Ukrainians are, since they have not one, but two units under their command which have a similar fascination with Nazi regalia.
