There were, and are, Washington Post and New York Times articles about this from before the latest unpleasantness made that an inconvenient truth to not acknowledge.
Welcome to the real world where propaganda written by empires is literally "Who are you going to believe, Me or your lying eyes?"
I don't recall WP or NYT articles about the US giving money to Russia for an invasion...
To Ukrainian Neo-nazi orgs like Right Sector and the Azov Battlion.
Be pithy all you want. It doesn't change the facts or the documented history.

Now go peddle your nonsense elsewhere.
The Azov Battalion does not run the country. I hate to break that to you. The neo Nazi elements of the Azov Battalion were pegged from it, BTW.
Putin, however, did put two Nazis in charge of the sham breakaway regions he created.

No one made that claim. It's funny that that is what you backpedal to when you are proven wrong, though.
Both were brought into the government military. And, when Zelensky ordered them away from the front lines in order to comply with the Minsk accords to end the war, which is what Zelensky ran on, by the by, they refused those orders.
The Nazi elements weren't pegged from them, either. If they have gone down, it is due to the high casualty rates.
But, all of that is immaterial.
You made a wrong claim, it was proven false, and you just moved the goalposts to other wrong claims.
You're either arguing in bad faith and a paid propagandist, or you're one of those unfortunate souls incapable of admitting when they are wrong. For your personal life I hope it is the former.
