I'm no sure about the creepy colonel guy you're referring to, but yeah
basically the US supports the current (Zelensky) coup-imposed government, but the government's ability to govern comes directly from these hard right guys - AZOV, TRIDENT, RIGHT SECTOR etc. - they are extremely politically powerful as well as forming 'volunteer battalions' which effectively make them beserkers. Poor military training but access to heavy weapons is a dangerous combination, especially if you look into how CYCLONE behaved or the fact that KIEV-2 battalion is literally just a Chechen ISIS group.
