Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar

Many Russians fakes about the symbol on the chevrons of these Ukrainian soldiers who are defending Mariupol today are spreading on the Internet. Alina Stara, Press Secretary of the Ukrainian Struggle Center, recorded a video on the subject.

In 2014-2015, the Black Sun was an integral part of the sleeve emblem of the Azov Battalion. In the spring of 2015, the battalion became the Azov Regiment, its leadership changed, and the look of the chevron changed.

In addition, Black Sun (2014-2017) was the newspaper of the Azov. Topics of the publication – interviews with the military and medics, volunteers working in the combat zone in eastern Ukraine, local residents; articles of educational, historical and counter-propaganda orientation.

You will not find any propaganda of Nazism there, no matter how hard you try.
