The article doesn't dispute any of it... I have seen some of the videos, like the ones showing people tied to poles with packing tape being hit by grandmas. Those are images of people caught engaging in crimes like looting. Ukraine isn't like some liberal city in America, old Russian ladies think nothing of hitting thieves with a switch.
It may be ugly but it has nothing to do with supposed Nazis.
But showing it as if it were the persecution of some group of people, not the punishment of criminals, is typical Russian propaganda.
And in case you didn't notice the people doing the hitting are speaking Russian.

The videos I posted were about Azov shooting civilians trying to leave, Azov shelling residential buildings, and Azov holding civilians hostage in their homes.

All of Ukraine is fluent in Russian. Even if it's not their primary language, everyone speaks it. Zelesnki himself had to learn Ukrainian. He speaks Russian primarily. His hit Ukrainian TV show, "Servant of the People" was filmed in Russian as is most Ukrainian entertainment. Ukraine's biggest pop stars sing in Russian. It's not unusual. Russian is the primary language of a significant geographical segment of the country and everyone understands it.
