Isn't this the video where they used things like a calendar with regular dates and claimed it was a list of Hamas members?
The entire area they showed looked like the power area of the hospital's basement, with various things on the walls and such that indicate hospital and nothing else.
Their only "evidence" in the videos was the pile of guns they showed, which...isn't really evidence of anything, especially since we have no way to tell if those were planted or not.
Reminds me of Russia’s failed attempt to demonstrate that Nazis were in Ukraine by releasing photos of a ‘bust’ that was obviously staged and includes gems like multiple copies of The Sims video game which were supposed to be sim cards.
copied from the Wikipedia page on the Azov-Battalion
“The unit has drawn controversy over its early and allegedly continuing association with far-right groups and neo-Nazi ideology,[13] its use of controversial symbols linked to Nazism, and early allegations that members of the unit participated in human rights violations.[14][15][16] Some experts have been critical of the regiment’s role within the larger Azov Movement, a political umbrella group made up of veterans and organizations linked to Azov, and its possible far-right political ambitions, despite claims of the regiment’s depoliticization.[17][8] Others argue that the regiment has evolved, tempering its neo-Nazi and far-right underpinnings as it became part of the National Guard.[18][19][9] The Azov Regiment has been a recurring theme of Russian propaganda.[20] The unit has been designated a terrorist group by Russia since August 2022.[21]”
Ukraine’s problem with far-right nationalist militias was openly talked about in western media before the Russian invasion

Putin’s claim that he’s invading to “de-nazify” Ukraine is obviously nonsense since Wagner was literally named for Hitler’s favorite composer but to pretend they don’t have a neo-nazi problem is just ignoring reality.
What the other replies said. The Azov battalion is a notorious example.
As for Wagner, you can read about this lovely co-founder on Wikipedia.
Both sides are happy to have Nazis fighting for them, but the war itself doesn’t have anything to do with ideology, it’s a proxy war between Russia and NATO and purely about geopolitics.
