Azov har nu publicerat samma uttalanden på sin hemsida som de Nordfront refererade till från Twitter:
Citat:
I appeal to the West, which with its policy of appeasing the aggressor, allowed this massacre in Ukraine. At the same time, one of the most motivated units in our country, the AZOV Regiment, was branded fascists and Nazis for Russian money. So therefore we got banned from getting weapons and training with NATO instructors, our social networks got blocked and there’s more. Despite this, now the world is watching the struggle of the AZOV regiment led by the Hero of Ukraine, Major Denis Prokopenko, and the soldiers of the regiment show the wonders of professionalism and heroism. The real fascists weren’t the fighters of the AZOV Regiment, but the Russian leadership and the Russian military, who had the audacity to call the war in Ukraine a “special denazification operation”. The truth was told by Winston Churchill:the fascists of the future will call themselves anti-fascists. That’s exactly how it happened.
The chaotic and destructive shelling of Mariupol from land, air and sea doesn’t stop not even for a moment. The Russian military violates all the rules of war, fighting primarily with the civilian population of Ukraine, destroying everything possible. Because for 8 years many paid these bastards and continued to do business with barbarians who used this money to make bombs that today wipe out the middle of Europe from the face of the earth. Russians are using heavy bombs, which lead to incredible destruction. Intelligence is increasingly reporting on Russia’s use of chemical weapons, as they have done in Syria. These barbarians capture ordinary people and under duress take them to Russia, where they confiscate documents and send them to work in the northern and eastern regions of the aggressor country. Doesn’t it resemble the concentration camps of Hitler’s Germany or the gulags of the Stalinist regime?

Ett annat nyligt exempel på samma retorik:
Citat:
I ask you not to confuse the concepts of patriotism and Nazism. Patriotism is when you love your mother more than your neighbour. This is when you love your land more than the one that has the best harvest. When your people are the best in the world for you. When you defend your country instead of attacking others. Our military has never invaded Georgia, Chechnya, Transnistria, Syria... We have never tried to seize foreign lands, but we have to confront the real Nazis of the 21st century - the Russians.
Not only Putin. Admit it. It is not he who pilots planes that drop bombs on hospitals, not he is an artilleryman who destroys residential buildings, hiding people alive. This is done by Russian soldiers with the tacit consent of all of Russia. Consent to seize, destroy, rape, kill...

När man skulle kommentera en artikel som Time Magazine publicerade så refererade de till Hitler som en tyrann, förvisso bara i en bisats men ändå:
Citat:
Recently, an article entitled «How a White-Supremacist Militia Uses Facebook to Radicalize and Train New Members» in such a respected and authoritative magazine as “TIME” appeared. The Azov Regiment cannot ignore such ridiculous accusations in crimes, so we believe that it is necessary to give the public real information and to quote the legislation of Ukraine, in which, apparently, «authoritative» journalists behind the publication are not competent.
By the way, the tyrants, such as Hitler (1938) and Stalin (1939), were once named The Man of the Year by this magazine, and in 2007 the cover of TIME was «decorated» by Vladimir Putin’s photo. The editors called him the «Tsar of New Russia» — do we need any more comments about who can stand behind such publications?

I ett annat inlägg från hösten 2018 skriver man beundrande om den amerikanska krigsmakten och hur den har härdats genom decennierna av krig och hårt arbete. Det är kanske inte något fel i sak, åtminstone historiskt, men är ändå ganska underligt med "NS" som skriver så om USA. Det framstår som sagt som att de beundrar USA och ser sig själva på något egendomligt vis följa i dess spår...:
A LONG MARCH
Citat:
This is not the first year that Ukrainian-American tactical training complexes have been held in the Lviv region for joint basic and special training of personnel, taking into account the Ukrainian experience of “hybrid warfare” in the east. In the media, social networks and ordinary conversations over a mug of beer lively discuss the correction and white-toothed smiles of American soldiers walking the streets of Lviv on weekends, argue about the tactical and technical characteristics of American anti-tank systems "Javelin" and Ukrainian missiles "Stugna". satellite reconnaissance, Abrams tanks, Apache helicopters and more. (
detta gissar jag syftar på en NATO-övning som hölls i den regionen september 2018, deltog Azov där? Det låter så av det ovan skrivna.)
At the same time, they somehow do not pay attention to the fact that American military power has been hardened by decades of hellish work, and its strength is not limited to multibillion-dollar budgets or high technology of the world's most powerful military-industrial complex. The presence of all of the above did not prevent the United States from losing the dramatic war in Vietnam, painfully rethought by the flagship of American culture - Hollywood - in the cult films of Oliver Stone's "Platoon" and "Born on the Fourth of July", "Apocalypse Today" by Francis Tapo. It was the ideological overcoming of the psychological complex of defeat that allowed the United States not only to win the Cold War, but also to triumph in Iraq, Yugoslavia, and Afghanistan, with little to no casualties.
And yet, the shield and sword of the overseas superpower in victorious conflicts gradually and stubbornly forged millions of ordinary people. Such as we are with you.
...
For Ukrainians, the long march is just beginning.
Our day will come.
