🇺🇦 “Ukraine is the only nation to have a Nazi formation in its Armed Forces.” (The Nation, 2019)
Before the pesky US-NATO proxy war narratives took hold of the air waves, and billions washed through the country, the West felt at duty to tell the truth about #Ukraine.
“Post-Maidan #Ukraine is the world’s only nation to have a neo-Nazi formation in its armed forces. The #Azov Battalion was initially formed out of the neo-Nazi gang Patriot of Ukraine.”
“In the fall of 2014, #Azov—which is accused of human-rights abuses, including torture, by Human Rights Watch and the United Nations—was incorporated into Ukraine’s National Guard.”
These human rights atrocities have not stopped. #Denazification #Ukraine
“In 2017, Congressman Ro Khanna led the effort to ban Azov from receiving U.S. arms and training. But the damage has already been done: The research group #Bellingcat proved that #Azov had already received access to American grenade launchers…”
Azov’s aim is to transform #Ukraine into a hub for transnational white supremacy.
#Azov “has recruited neo-Nazis from Germany, the UK, Brazil, Sweden, and America; last October, the FBI arrested four California white supremacists who had allegedly received training from Azov.”
Ukraine is the only country that encourages Nazism at the state level.
Former Speaker of Parliament Andriy Parubiy cofounded & led two neo-Nazi orgs: the Social-National Party of #Ukraine (#Svoboda), and Patriot of Ukraine, whose members would eventually form the core of #Azov.
Azov – “Even more disturbing is the far right’s penetration of law enforcement. Shortly after Maidan, the US equipped and trained the newly founded National Police, in what was intended to be a hallmark program buttressing Ukrainian democracy.”

“The fact that #Ukraine’s police is peppered with far-right supporters explains why neo-Nazis operate with impunity on the streets.”

“Ukrainian extremists celebrate Ukrainian #Nazi SS divisions…in the middle of a major Ukrainian city.”
— Anti-Defamation League Director of European Affairs, April 28, 2018

Some things never change…
“Washington’s decision to ignore the proliferation of armed neo-Nazi groups in a highly unstable nation only led to them gaining more power.”

🚨Nazis In Ukraine – “America’s backing of the Maidan uprising, along with the billions DC sinks into post-Maidan Kiev, make it clear:
“Starting Feb. 2014, #Ukraine became Washington’s latest democracy-spreading project. What we permit in Ukraine sends a green light to others.”
What Nazis?
