Sputnik — Ukraine's Ultra-Nationalist Azov Battalion Sets Sights on Donbass, Crimea

The military commander of the Neo-Nazi unit, Andriy Biletsky, has used the social media to reach out to his comrades-in-arms. He wrote that 1,200 fighters under his command won’t lay down arms and will continue fighting until the flags of the unit are raised over Donbass and Crimea....
Many Azov members hold Neo-Nazi beliefs. The official Azov emblem is the Wolfsangel ("wolf-anchor"). During World War II, the symbol and its elements were used by various Nazi German military units, including the SS Panzer Division.
Putting this in context, Victory Day is the celebration of the defeat of Nazism.
