Azov Regiment: Neo-Nazis in the defense of Mariupol

The port city of Mariupol is under Russian siege and is threatened with a humanitarian disaster. It stands in the way of a land corridor between Crimea and the self-proclaimed pro-Russian Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republic, which is apparently one of the goals of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Puk Azov, a radical right-wing unit that uses neo-Nazi symbols and is subordinate to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is also involved in the defense of the city.
