I respect that you aren't completely denying it and I think we should leave it at that.
I don't think they transformed into anything different, it's not like they kicked all the obvious nazis from the battalion. The way I see it, the only reason they are in national guard is because they are very well trained with guns and Ukraine needs all the help they can get at the moment. They do not follow the same regime as the Ukraine army, they are still independant.
I can see why you would defend them, but frankly speaking they are globally known as neo-nazis and it's pretty much a fact. That said I don't think they deserve any respect at all. They are doing the right thing but for the wrong reasons.
ANYWAYS change of subject:
A lot more atrocities are being uncovered in Bucha right now, even beheadings. Here's an article detailing some findings today for anyone interested (some NSFW images though):

Also Russia has just been kicked out of UN Human Rights Council, big blow to their credibility even in Russians' eyes.
Looks like soon they will have no choice but to retreat the way things are progressing. The only thing keeping Russia from bankrupting now is their oil, but that's not going to last forever.
