The Ukrainian president is a Jew so I don't even understand the Nazi talking point. The argument is that there's elements of the Ukrainian government/military who are Nazis, therefore, the Ukrainian government is run by Nazis, even though the president is a Jew?
In the aftermath of October 7th the Ukrainian president called for solidarity with Israel.
How am I supposed to view this talking point other than bad faith bullshit from people hostile to Ukraine and sympathetic to Russia?
Below are some pictures of the top military leader of the Ukrainian forces, guess who he loves to pose with.
I'd also love to point you to how the New York Times was just interviewing Andrii Biletsky about his command of the 3rd brigade at Avdiivka;

Soldiers from the elite Third Assault Brigade were sent in to shore up Ukraine’s forces but noted that they were being sent into a situation that was already “extremely critical.”
“Avdiivka is hell,” the brigade’s commander, Andrii Biletskyi, said in a statement. The situation in the city was “ precarious and unstable,” he said, with the Russians able to rotate troops and deploy more resources to the fight.
“We are forced to fight 360 degrees against new brigades that the enemy is deploying,” he said.
Here are some random assorted quotations from Andrii Biletsky, commander of the 3rd Assault Brigade and also founder of the Ukrainian National Socialist party, the Azov Battalion, a member of Parliament and leader of the National Corps political party:
"the Ukrainian nation's mission is to lead the white races of the world in a final crusade...against Semite-led Untermenschen"
"How then can we describe our enemy? The general regime in power are oligarchs. Is there anything they have in common? Yes, one thing in common – they are Jews, or their true bosses – Jews – are behind them. Out of one hundred published richest people in Ukraine 92 are Jews, and some others of Tatar origin"
The picture below Zaluzhny's photo ops with the neo-Nazis is Biletsky himself LARPing his SS best, around the time he proposed a bill in parliament to ban race mixing.
If the top brass of the American military were either affiliated with, supporting and supported by Nazis, or overt Nazis themselves, would you say we had a Nazi problem?
