azov

Control Crimea and coast of azov sea is important, because Russia have powerful internal water routes via azov sea.

It is a tiny tiny group, but the Azov brigade was celebrated in the media while holding these views.

Access to the Caspian Sea via the Volga-Don canal and the Sea of Azov is never mentioned.

As if somehow the single Azov Brigade was somehow actually in control of Ukraine.

We can see their symbols proudly on display today in Ukraine's Azov brigade.

The land grab is Russia's assurance that the crimean pipelines and access to the black sea and the sea of azov remain unchallenged.

The Nazis in Azov have largely been killed and replaced with new troops.

Paramilitary groups would break out (such as the Azov units, etc.) Ukraine would then degrade into civil war, especially along an east-west line.

The major battles in Ukraine were over train lines and connectors, for example coastal Crimea to Azov line, or major lines in Donbass region.

Who profited most from Ihor Kolomoysky's Nazis - Azov and Right Sector - in the decade of conflict development before Russia crossed the border?

In the same way, someone who supports the Azov brigade, would be expected to face consequences in Russia (and find difficulties in getting their books distributed) since Russia proscribed the Azov brigade, but precisely because of that...

Ukrainian forces have fascist battalions (azov), but you probably support them.

The most ironic thing about this is that Azov are almost entirely the "ethnically Russian, Russian-speaking-minority" that Russia claims to be acting in the interest of.

You really should not be asking an LLM > "Did fighters of the Azov battalion burn an effigy of Trump?” LLMs are horrible at answering questions about small isolated incidents.

Azov Batallion has videos posted where they have whole stadiums filled with them doing their chant?

Why would a forcibly drafted unit continue to be immortalized today by Ukraine's Azov?

There was Svoboda and Azov, and very little else.
