Assuming every single member of the Azov battalion is an actual Nazi -- which is not what I've read but whatever -- What percentage of the Ukrainian population is the Azov battalion? As best as I can figure it, it's somewhere around .0025%.
So I think equating supporting Ukraine to supporting Nazis is the sign of someone grasping for straws.

The number of Nazis in Ukraine is estimated at 7-9%. They have a particularly poor showing in the elections, but they have guns, riot a lot and hold huge leverage over government policies.

Its not the percentage of the population that matters…its the positions held in military command positions, territorial defense formations, the intelligence services like SBU, the govt organs of the towns and cities.and the political bloc formed by right wing and ultranationalist parties in the govt
which were just left intact while Zelensky banned 11 parties opposing them
So much is now coming to light, even with censorship

If You do not factor in these important points, it seems like grasping…
1. Ukraine is not a United Country. 3 Oblasts have voted overwhelmingly to secede
2. A significant portion of Ukraines population have pro-Russian sympathies
3. A CIA sponsored “Color Revolution” removed the democratically elected President using some of these violent NAZI groups
4. The NAZI groups have been waging war on the Russian Sympathetic Oblasts since 2014. Atrocities have been committed
