Over the past few weeks, a worrying trend has emerged in the German media to spread false Russian narratives regarding the Ukrainian Azov Regiment, according to the Center for Countering Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council. In particular, in the German media, "

“For Germans, the topic of the Nazis and their crimes has been hypersensitive since the Second World War, so any mention or description of military formations with the prefix “Nazi” causes immediate condemnation and distancing. It is for this purpose - associations of Ukrainians fighting for their state and freedom with the Nazis - that rashist propagandists switched to the European information space and especially to Germany,"

They recalled that the Azov battalion was created in 2014 from volunteers who fought in the Donbass.

Today, the Azov Regiment is a separate special forces detachment of the National Guard of Ukraine.
