It's because the unit pictured here, the Azov Battalion, has a Wolfsangel in its insignia. That particular symbol has Nazi connotations, and the Azov Battalion is linked to the Ukrainian Social-National Assembly, a far-right group which includes neo-Nazis in its ranks.

"Along with many other runic symbols, Nazi Germany appropriated the Wolfsangel. It appeared as part of the divisional insignia of several Waffen-SS units, including the notorious 2nd SS "Das Reich" Panzer Division. As a result, it became a symbol of choice for neo-Nazis in Europe and the United States. In the United States, the neo-Nazi group Aryan Nations incorporated the Wolfsangel into their logo."
