Yeah, it’s one of those situations where there’s just enough “there” there (regarding the Azov battalion) that the pro-Russian narrative can run with it and try to paint the invasion as legitimate. There are some sketchy realities surrounding Azov, but as mentioned above they’re a relatively small faction and the notion of using them as a pretense for full-scale invasion of a country of 44 million is hilarious on its face.
