Thread. Far-right The National Corps to protest against Poroshenko tomorrow in Kyiv, so they roll out a slick video. “Nationalist hate group” ,according to @StateDept report, the National Corps will hold a rally in front of @TheBankova on April 9. /1

Some leaders of the National Corps, like self-described “national socialist” Sergey Korotkih, have been busy sharing pro-Zelenskiy memes online. It remains to be seen if Zelenskiy, framed as pro-Russian by detractors, will denounce the Azov movement as candidate, or President/3
The leader of the National Corps (and the Azov movement as a whole) Biletsky told @lb_ua in March he wasn’t fond of Zelenskiy. Another NC figure Mykola Kravchenko recently wrote that he expected turmoil in Ukraine regardless of who wins the election /END
