It's difficult to "contain" a group so small that it's reasonably called "fringe"?

This "fringe" group "now appears with some regularity"?

Whether it's the New York Times trying to distance themselves from a losing war, or 
the other regime media outlets (such as the AP, Time magazine, PBS, Mother Jones, and 
Reuters to name a few) publishing one too many photos of Ukrainian soldiers with 
their Nazi/Nazi-inspired patches, tattoos, and coffin insignia, the Gray Lady has 
almost had enough.

The New York Times used to say that Ukraine's Azov battalion was "openly neo-Nazi".

This more recent self-conflicting fraud written by Thomas Gibbons-Neff posted on June 
5 used the modern euphemism--calling the neo-Nazis in the Ukraine military 
"far-right" instead._______________________________________________
