The Ukrainian army has a ton of Nazis fighting for it, and pictures of Nazi symbols keep popping up on uniforms. I understand that the Ukrainians know they're in an existential war and need every man they can get, but it's not a good look, and honouring actual Nazis in parliament is not going to help with keeping political support for continuing to fund this war.

Same is true for Russia, btw. The Wagner group used a lot of Nazi iconography as well, and Russia was equally ok with it.

There's just a huge Nazi problem in both countries, and it's definitely something we need to worry about. Having a bunch of Nazi's with combat experience and potentially modern western weapons running around Europe is not something you want after this war. Operation Gladio showed what that can lead to.

There's a huge Nazi crisis the world over tbh. It's pretty frightening.
