Thread: earlier this week, 8 of the biggest youth orgs in Ukraine formed the National Ukrainian Youth Association (NUMO), including the OUN-B affiliated Youth Nationalist Congress (MNK) and Ukrainian Youth Association (CYM). The Nat'l Plast Education Center hosted the meeting. 
The executive director of the newly formed National Ukrainian Youth Association (NUMO) is Elana Podobed-Frankivsk, coordinator of "Euromaidan Public Sector," who is married to this guy:
The Youth Nat'l Congress (MNK) & Nat'l Alliance, founded by a former MNK leader in 2005, are the most intense members of the newly formed NUMO. 2 reps (1-MNK,1-NA) at the 8/5 NUMO meeting expressed interest in C14-tied "Educational Assembly." cc:@kooleksiy
The MNK was created in 2001 under the auspices of the OUN-B (Bandera wing of the Org of Ukr Nat'lists) & in turn set up "Free People" in 2014 which is another vehicle for the OUN-B. Via MNK/FP & to a lesser extent CYM & others, OUN-B could loom large in NUMO behind the scenes.
Of the 15 reps of Ukrainian youth orgs that formed NUMO at 8/5 meeting, 3 were MNK, 3-Plast, 2-Euromaidan Public Sector. FWIW, the latter 2 orgs have received support from the US National Endowment for Democracy & NED's current Ukraine program officer is a former CEO of Plast.
@kooleksiy *Education Assembly--and to clarify: they didn't express interest in EA at the NUMO meeting, but RSVP'd as "interested" to the Education Assembly's upcoming "Resilience League 2019" Facebook event (also cc: @ColborneMichael) facebook.com/events/7331486…
