Germany – the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Community said that using "Z" to indicate support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine is a felony punishable by up to three years in prison.
Putin even glamoured Hitler in his speak with that tucker carlson just a couple of days ago, explaining it was Poland that forced Hitler to attack and start WW2. Why? Because they didn't want to give up their lands...
Oh no, you don't want to be invaded? Guess you are forcing me to invade then.
What a clown. It would be funny if it wasnt so tragic.

Based on a little synthesis from statements by top Kremlin officials:
The host asked Lavrov about President Putin’s declared attempt to de-nazify Ukraine when Zelensky himself is Jewish. The foreign minister responded: “So what if Zelensky is Jewish. It doesn’t disprove the Nazi elements in Ukraine. I believe that Hitler also had Jewish blood,” and “some of the worst antisemites are Jews.”
...we can clearly conclude that World War II was a definite case of Poland forcing Jews to invade Poland to kill off Jews.
The symbol isn't exclusive to Nazis, and the styling suggests it's something else... Not saying it isn't Nazis because I don't know, but I feel it's not a good assumption.
It pretty clearly was intended to imply it though, based on the lower photo, which is far less ambiguous.

The stadium will again will be filled to capacity when the Hitler Youth and the SA are celebrating summer solstice day in the Olympic Stadium, June 21, 1938, Berlin, Germany.

What would be a good assumption then? That they are a religious crowd of Hinduists/Buddhists?
For one, that kind of display is typical of authoritarian regimes. Also, Nazis ruined swastikas for everyone else so saying Nazis would be a good assumption indeed. And also you could've just looked it up like the dude replying to you, props to them.
It's always a good assumption that you're dealing with Nazis when you see a swastika. How much more do you need to feel good about your assumptions? That symbol hasn't been used by any other group since the Nazis. Yes, it used to be used by other groups. Those times are long gone.
That's not a valid assumption. It's a link to a Telegram message, t.me is Telegram's domain. I presume you have some filter that blocks Telegram links. It is not blocked for me, and my pihole runs a huge bunch of blocklists. I also scanned the link with urlscan, and there's no indication that it's malicious. You can view the result of the scan here, if anyone is interested:
Ah okay. The other person said "an app", and it was blocked for me, so I assumed it is malicious, since lots of malicious links are app download spam. Had they said "the Telegram app" I probably wouldn't have made that assumption. Cheers for correcting me.
