Ukrainian veteran Ruslan Knysh is just 20 years old. Still, he continues to defend his country after losing both arms and legs in a Russian drone attack. Today, he is training to become a drone pilot by using a customized chin controller to operate unmanned ground vehicles. abcnews.link/H2WKOYt

Hes a Nazi, but is anyone suprised that @abc are platforming these vile Ghouls? The insignia of the 14th Ukrainian SS "Galicia" division. The "Reichsadler" Eagle. The wolfsangle insignia of Nazi mass killers. And of course the black and red flag of the UPA who butchered poles.

That’s a lot of Nazi patches on the wall at about 1 min into the video. Multiple Bandera signs (massacred Jews and Polish), there’s the 14th SS Galician (massacred Jews, Polish, Russian and Gypsies), a couple of wolf’s hooks, the fascist eagle insignia. Whoo boy what a Gold mine

Why the heck does ABC do a story on a Ukrainian soldier whose life’s goal was to join a Neo-Nazi Azov unit??? United States government declared Azov as an extremist organization and attempted to cut off funding to it before 2022 war began…

ABC News failed to mention that Ruslan Knysh is a neo-Nazi ideological officer in the 3rd Army Corps. In June, he attended an anti-LGBT march in Kyiv, where he described "same-sex creatures" as "parasites for Ukraine."

Imagine what an imbecile you have to be to believe this capeshit. Every Ukraine supporter is directly responsible for each Ukrainian man kidnapped off the street and sent to his death so Lockheed Martin line goes up.

🇺🇦 ABC News glorifies Azov ideologue surrounded by Nazi symbols @grok why is this allowed on X @elonmusk ABC News is presenting 20-year-old Ruslan Knysh from Selidovo as an inspiring story of resilience. He lost both arms and both legs in a drone strike and is now training to operate unmanned ground vehicles with a controller he steers with his chin. What ABC left out: Knysh is a fighter in the 3rd Assault Brigade, the Azov-derived unit led by Azov founder Andriy Biletsky. According to Ukrainian media, he ran away from home three times to join it at 18, with his mother reporting him missing to police. He now serves in the brigade's "khorunzhy" service, its ideological officer corps, and lectures young recruits. ABC filmed him in front of the 3rd Army Corps flag. The camera then pans across a wall of patches that includes: ➡️The gold lion of the 14th Waffen-SS Division "Galizien." Formed by Nazi Germany in 1943 from Ukrainian volunteers who swore an oath to Hitler, its units took part in the 1944 massacre of Polish villagers at Huta Pieniacka. ➡️Several patches bearing Azov's wolfsangel, the "Idea of the Nation" symbol adapted from the Nazi-era Wolfsangel used by SS units such as the "Das Reich" division ➡️A patch from SvaStone, a neo-Nazi clothing brand whose name and logo allude to the swastika, which sells "White Boy" and black sun shirts and has organized concerts for Azov and the Blood & Honour network ➡️Red-and-black patches in the colors of Bandera's OUN-UPA. Bandera's OUN militia took part in the 1941 Lvov pogroms alongside the Nazis, and the UPA carried out the Volhynia massacres, killing an estimated 60,000 to 100,000 Poles. In 2014, Western media still reported on Azov's Nazi symbols. In 2026, ABC films them and calls it heroism.

This is not a feel good story absolutely degrading what war does to people.

A feel-good news story about technology that allows someone who had all their limbs blown off to operate a drone -- in order to blow other kids' limbs off -- might be the most dystopian thing I've ever seen. More people need to read Johnny Got His Gun.

Imagine using what's left of your capacity and your life to kill others in that condition. Drone operators have a very short life span so maybe he wants to kill himself. Those who take advantage of a person like that are even worse than he is!

Super pathetic. Imagine the PTSD he's already got. Now they want to take the rest of him, his brain, with killing more people with drones. Maybe just let the man go home to his family and heal.
