So let me make sure I got this right:

1. @snopes call themselves "fact-checkers" ?

2. The author, Bethania Palma, is a "journalist"?

Is that supposed to be correct? twitter.com/LvivNightingal…

"Putin’s comments were misleading on more than one front."

Yes. And you know what else was misleading on many fronts?

This whole fucking article, @snopes

Let's start from the basics, @snopes

❗️Also - it's Azov REGIMENT

✅ a highly professional military unit playing crucial part in resisting the 🇷🇺 genocidal aggression.
✅ includes ethnic 🇺🇦, 🇷🇺, 🇧🇾, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, 🇬🇷 & Ukrainian patriots of all backgrounds

What Azov ISN'T:
❌ political organisation
❌ militia

Here's one of my threads about Azov, @snopes, check it out. "Fact checkers" my ass 🤦‍♀️

1/ Ukraine's only real problem with Nazism is r*ssia and its apologists of #GenocideOfUkrainians like yourself.

Azov are our heroes and they play a crucial role in defending Ukraine against r*ssian genocidal invasion, which is the only reason r*ssua is so butthurt about them. https://t.co/HVbt4d5LDB https://t.co/IqfvuGFnbH

Here I'm collecting credible reporting & other info resources about @Polk_Azov:

2/ r*ssian "army" is only capable of raping, looting, and murdering civilians. Totally makes sense that they hate Azov and brainwashed everyone about them but unlike them, we have credible info :) @VassilisDelta

@snopes I would be grateful if that nonsense article was removed.

Community - please help me make sure this 🧵 is seen by @snopes by tagging them in replies.

This is who @snopes referenced btw. @ChristopherJM - fantasy writer, Narnia's native, who wrote many tales about "Ukrainian Nazis" and other imaginary characters 🦄

#ꑭ #SaveAzov

1/ I can't believe this guy has the audacity to be posting this.

@ChristopherJM has Ukrainian blood on his hands.

He is personally responsible for creating a completely wrong perception of @Polk_Azov for the Western audience, describing them as "Ukrainian Nazis".
