Azov fighter video overshadows Zelenskiy's address to Greek lawmakers

ATHENS, April 7 (Reuters) - Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskiy's address to the Greek parliament on Thursday caused an outrage from opposition parties after a man who identified himself as an ethnic Greek member of Ukraine's ultranationalist Azov battalion appeared on a video.

Zelenskiy spoke about the destruction of the Russian-besieged Ukrainian port of Mariupol - home to thousands of ethnic Greeks - and appealed to Athens for help.

"I address you, as a Greek by origin. I am Mikhail, my grandfather fought against the Nazis... I participate in the defence of Ukraine through the Azov Battalion," he said.

Zelenskiy, who was invited to address the Greek parliament by conservative Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, received a standing ovation from lawmakers present in the room.

But the video caused a backlash on social media and an angry reaction from leftist parties.

Shortly after the speech, the head of the leftist Syriza party Alexis Tsipras said the incident was a provocation. "Solidarity with the Ukrainian people is a given. But the Nazis can not have a say in parliament," he tweeted.

His tweet had won more than 3,900 likes by Thursday evening.

A Greek government spokesman responded that the message of a member of the Azov Battalion was "mistaken and inappropriate".

Western countries say Moscow's invasion, the biggest assault on a European country since World War Two, was entirely unprovoked. Russia says it is carrying out a "special operation" to disarm and "denazify" its neighbors.

Ukraine's embassy in Athens said the Azov regiment, set up as a far right group in 2014, has been reformed and integrated into the National Guard of Ukraine.

"For many years Russia tried to 'plant' into Greek minds the myth that "Azov" Regiment is a paramilitary independent unit operating in Mariupol," it said.

"The video ... has nothing to do to those Nazi deeds, Russians commit on our land and against our people."

Interesting.

Salam alaikun jamaah

This is why Russia needs to denazify Ukraine.

And while Baba Zelensky keeps telling Europe to stop buying Russian gas, could his supporters here advise him to lead by example and stop collecting money for gas passing through Russian pipelines that pass through Ukraine territory on their way to Europe.

He should reject the money or give it to Europe to subsidize their gas

I concur....Azov is a raycist, neo Nazi, white supremacist nonsense.

Dunno why former President Poroshenko allowed the wicked people to be integrated into the Ukrainian military.

Zelensky still came and continued condoning the nonsense, even going to speak in their support smh.

If Azov Battalion did not exist, a quarter of Putin's reason for invasion would not be there.
Harsh truth.

Wahala

Why Putin so silent?

Is he still in his bunker room?

I didn’t hear him make threat of nuclear war again. Let him try and see if Motherland Russia won’t become a wasteland. N.B Let peace reign

Life is beyond showing force. West don send their currency value to the abyss

I laugh when people say he has plenty nuclear weapon forgetting that he is not the only one that has

If the story doesn't make much sense to you just as it doesn't to me, just click "like" and rest!

And for those of you claiming Ukraine is winning and has captured armored vehicles, missiles, and other weapons from Russia, leaving it with more stock than it had at the beginning of the war, don't you think it is suspicious that Zelensky is still going around to beg for weapons?

And he has gone so low that he's now begging Greece. Greece? The same Greece that went bankrupt until the EU bailed it out 4 years ago. No sanctions, no nothing, and yet the country turned upside-down.

Maybe Greece should send Zelensky some naked white statues to see if those would scare the Russians, and if they don't work, Zelensky should send the statues to the front line to replace the western mercenaries wounding themselves to escape the battlefield and return to their countries, as this former US army commander revealed here: https://www.nairaland.com/7070587/western-fighters-wounding-themselves-get

Enough of sentimental bull-shits

Let the war, invasion or special operation, whatever be over already.

All parties should be addressed
Enough is enough!!

Land for sale..

Location...UKRAINE

what happens when you make a comedian like Basket-Mouth your president. Your country automatically turns to a joke.

Zelensky- the stooge and pawn in the hand of NATO

Even after this war, all these donations and aids will make Ukraine more loyal to America and the west

Na old news tho…. Na true

The comedian

there is a big kinda level going on (THIS COUNTRIES ARE DOING guyman to guyman)

Omo Greece of all country... Do they think hercule and those myth gods are still alive

If south east burn down today, u think say Poland and other eastern Europe nation's send us Y then choke us up with Ukraine's predicament. A racist nation for that matter.

"Denazify" that word struck me. I must confess first time I seeing the word I have to quickly look it up on Webster's. Mhen even in Nairaland too we learn everyday. Thank you @OP.

Zelenky should please dialogue with his brother ...anything comes from usa is a game

Is Putin ever known to make noise or give irrelevant press conferences ?! He is a former KGB he doesn't talk anyhow he acts..

At no point did he specifically threaten anyone with Nuclear warhead as twisted by Western Media... He goes about with a red brief case, US fake news claims he wants to lunch nuclear warheads... He host a military parade they say he wants to shoot a missile

The same Ukraine that you support has over 30 Bio laboratory fully funded by US and NATO to create population control engineered viruses.. like covid 19 they created in Wuhan killing millions around the world and forcing their vaccines on everyone
