I’ll say the same thing I said when this was posted to news, nobody gives a shit what neo-nazis think about anything. Their opinions are less than useless.
If they’re not doing anything kick them out of anywhere they show up and then ignore them. If they start something beat their ass and put them in jail. There’s never any reason to talk to them, you’re just providing legitimacy to them that they don’t deserve if you do that. They’re ambulatory excrement and they should be treated like it.
This is such a bizarre premise considering that racists have consistently and unapologetically lined up with Putin
And that the president in Ukraine is Jewish and liberal, which has made support for Ukraine a no-go for neonazis in Western Europe and America at least since the start of the Russo-Ukrainian War.
That is good for Ukraine.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
At the outset of the war, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued an intelligence bulletin that far-right American extremists were heading to the conflict and could use it to hone terrorist skills to bring back stateside.
In a November 2023 audio message on Telegram, the ex-Marine Christopher Pohlhaus – the leader of neo-Nazi network the Blood Tribe known for its racist and homophobic protests across the US – recently told followers he was not allowing his “guys” to join in the conflict.
For its part, the Kremlin has been a relentless recruiter of neo-Nazis to its cause; the co-founder of the mercenary Wagner Group, Dmitry Utkin, not only named his organization after the Third Reich’s favorite composer but had the logo for the Waffen-SS tattooed on both sides of his neck.
The war is also at a crisis point for Ukraine as the mainstream Republican party blocks aid to Kyiv in Congress over demands to first reinforce the southern border with Mexico and make draconian changes to the US’s asylum system.
Rinaldo Nazzaro, the Russia-based former Pentagon contractor turned founder of international neo-Nazi organization the Base, told his group in a secret meeting that he saw the war as an opportunity for a potential training pipeline.
“We do our best to be understanding of the fact that in the Anglosphere there is a different kind of echo chamber where mostly Kremlin propaganda dominates and that you have probably never even heard the truth,” said one prominent European neo-Nazi account on Telegram in March last year, already noticing the slide away from the conflict among English speakers.
