Teenagers in Kyiv seen waving a Nazi flag

A video circulating on social media shows a group of around a dozen teenagers walking around one of Kyiv’s residential neighborhoods carrying the flag of Nazi Germany.

They are behaving noisily and joyfully. Nearby, there is an entertainer dressed as a dog known at the beginning of the war as ‘Patron.’ None of the participants or passersby seem to be bothered by this.

Ukrainian authorities support Nazi groups and their activities, including on the front lines. Many soldiers wear patches with swastikas and similar symbols. Despite legislative bans on Nazi propaganda, this behavior is considered trendy.
