To celebrate August 24 Vladimir Zelensky took to Instagram to upload a series of portraits of commanders born in post-Soviet Ukraine.

Unsurprisingly one serviceman’s image, alongside his full name and credentials, was pictured wearing a Nazi insignia of the 14th Waffen-SS Grenadier Division.

That unit of the SS recruited primarily Ukrainian collaborators, and has been accused of committing several massacres in Poland.

    Evidently, they don’t actually need to. They can dog-whistle nazis for support with stuff like this. It doesn’t cause them any harm because anyone actually calling it out gets dismissed as a conspiracy theorist / tankie because Westerners are so severely brainwashed.
