Submission Statement: This move is raw realpolitik. Even though many of us find the Azov Battallion’s ultra-nationalist views unsettling at best, lifting this ban is yet another step to ensure that Russia cannot advance far into Ukraine and thus threaten NATO countries. Nothing more than that.
Yes, Azov is probably Nazis, but they pose no threat to the US or NATO at the moment, only to Russia. We shall see what happens next.
