My understanding was that they do have a neo-Nazi militia that was incorporated into the official army, and they made at least some effort to clean them up a bit, after that. This happened because the militia rose up and started having significant success against the Russians in 2014 while the Ukrainian army was struggling, so there was a "the enemy of my enemy..." aspect. Whether they have any sway over, say, policy, I do not know.

> Whether they have any sway over, say, policy, I do not know. Far-right political parties only got ~2% of the votes in elections. Not enough for even a single seat in Parliament. If there still are any Nazis in Ukraine, their influence is much smaller than the far-right factions in Poland or France.
