Indeed, I recently read a tongue-in-cheek analysis that posited that Zelensky, who is also Jewish and Russian speaking, is throwing the Nazi militias into the meat grinder against the Russians in order to help with the "de-Nazification" of Ukraine. It makes sense when you know that the Azov Battalion was essentially decimated at Mariupol last year and had to be almost completely reconstituted, only to be decimated again at Bakhmut (Artyomosk).
