This is their logo.

It's called a Wolfsangel. Like the Swastika, this emblem predates Nazi times, but was appropriated by the Nazis. The Azov deny they use this emblem as a nod to Nazi ideology, but I'm going to just outright call them liars.
They might well be war heroes in Ukraine. That doesn't mean they are good guys, and it doesn't mean we should be supporting a nation state that recognises them as legitimate militants.
I'm not sure if I believe the figure of 100-200 given their logo is very similar to a Nazi symbol. I'm not really sure why someone who doesn't approve of Nazi ideology would associate themselves with this group. I would expect it to be much closer to 100%, if not precisely.
Again, this doesn't mean we should turn a blind eye. And I'm certainly not going to support corruption based on the premise that war is worse. War is a hugely corrupt economy in itself.
