Speaking to War Room host Stephen K. Bannon this week, Kassam explained why he believes Johnson, the Azov Brigade's biggest and most influential lobbyist, was the driving force behind the sudden change.
"The Azov Battalion ... has absolute direct links to neo-Nazism," Kassam said of the group. "This is not something that is disputed."
The Azov Brigade fights under the same wolf's hook emblem that was formerly used by Adolph Hitler's Das Reich Waffen-SS division during World War II. It was also founded by an ultra-nationalist who preaches a "final crusade ... against Semite-led Untermenschen," Untermenschen meaning subhumans.
"This is not something that even they dispute," Kassam continued in explaining what the Azov Brigade is. "What they say is that they have undertaken a PR operation to change their image and to try and put a lot of those things in the past."

At no point in time has the Azov Brigade even attempted to divest itself of its neo-Nazi reputation. In fact, the group seems to take pride in its neo-Nazi agenda, which is fully supported by many world leaders including Biden and Johnson.
"They've not, by the way, said, 'Oh, and we divest of that, and we repudiate all of that," Kassam continued. "They say, 'We're trying to soften our image' – and, of course, one of their biggest lobbyists in the world at the moment, as we reported just a couple of weeks ago, is former British prime minister Boris Johnson, a lobbyist for Neo-Nazis."
"And it looks like the efforts of his lobbying have been targeted at Joe Biden at the U.S. State Department and beyond, and been successful."
Since its founding, the Azov Brigade and its members have looked at themselves as the heirs of Stepan Bandera, a 20th-century Ukrainian nationalist and independence fighter who was widely revered throughout the country.
Prior to 1991, Ukraine was part of the Soviet Socialist Republic. Part of its current territory was also owned by Poland, though Bandera, through a series of political murders, helped pave the way for the modern-day state of Ukraine to take ownership of the land.
Bandera and many of his fighters and supporters welcomed and collaborated with the German Nazis when they invaded the Soviet Union in 1941 and started ethnically cleansing via genocide Polish people in what is now recognized as western Ukraine.
Hitler's original plan was to colonize Ukraine, though, rather than grant it independence. He proceeded to intern Bandera, who hid from the Soviets in West Germany until he was ultimately assassinated by the KGB in 1959.
Today, the Azov Brigade is carrying on the legacy of Bandera and the group's Nazi roots. It exists as a testament to the persistence of Nazism in the world, and it would not have the power it currently does were it not for the advocacy and support of corrupt politicians like Johnson and Biden who are apparently Nazis themselves.
Quite frankly, anyone who supports Ukraine technically supports Nazism as the country is not what it seems. The land called Ukraine is not actually Ukraine, which is at the heart of the conflict between the Zelensky regime and Russia, with Russia wanting back what was taken from it.
