As I said, "Canadian policy turns a “blind eye” to ultranationalist extremism and human rights violations & this silence basically is used by the #farright in #Ukraine and by the #Ukrainian government as immunity, as a sign of support, as a green light.” theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
And it has not been reported yet in #Canadian media that leader of #Neonazi C14 admitted that his C14-based Maidan Self-Defense company took refuge in the Canadian embassy in Kyiv on February 18 and stayed there during the Maidan massacre. (p. 21). researchgate.net/publication/33…
Leading member of #Neonazi C14 stated that C14 leader told his C14 company that he received advance information about impending #Maidan massacre & therefore he & his company took refuge at #Canadian Embassy in #Ukraine & stayed there during massacre. p. 21 researchgate.net/publication/33…
"... Ivan Katchanovski, political scientist and professor at the University of Ottawa who has been researching the far-right, has drawn attention to the continuity between far-right violence in the Maidan and the Odessa massacres, and the Donbass war." canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…
"According to Ivan Katchanovski, “Azov got several Spartan armoured personnel carriers, which were produced in Ukraine under a Canadian license... But there is no explicit law prohibiting Canadian military aid to Azov or other far-right regiments." canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…
"Katchanovski’s academic studies of the Ukrainian far-right contributed to the US adoption of a defense appropriations bill amendment in 2018, which banned U.S. military aid including prohibitions on providing arms, funding or training to the Azov Regiment"canadiandimension.com/articles/view/…

In my #Ukrainian Avers TV interview, I said that #Belarusian government is using #migrants from #Iraq as retaliation for #Polish governments’ support of opposition in #Belarus & its refusal to recognize Lukashenko as president.
I also commented that US-Ukrainian partnership charter shows symbolic US support for Ukraine. It solidifies position of #Ukraine as US client state which is used by US & EU to contain #Russia without providing any commitments & without any prospects of EU membership for Ukraine.
I said that public backing by US, EU & NATO of proposed SBU law also shows client state status of #Ukraine & its security service. Despite rhetoric of reforms & democratization, SBU in fact is used against political opponents, & human rights situation is similar to end of 80s.
The EU special representative for human rights states that there are problems with the investigations of the #Maidan and #Odesa massacres in #Ukraine and that progress is needed in these investigations. strana.news/news/359551-v-…
My academic studies show that investigations and prosecutions of both these crucial mass killings are stonewalled and fabricated in order to cover-up involvement of the Maidan politicians and far right in these massacres. researchgate.net/publication/34…
This is very dangerous game by #Zelensky since significant escalation of civil war in #Donbas can lead to much more significant military intervention by #Russia in Donbas, compared to August 2014 & Winter 2015, or to #Russia launching war with #Ukraine. researchgate.net/publication/29…
Large-scale military intervention by Russia in #Donbas, or #Russia launching war with #Ukraine would lead to very large casualties & loss of other territories & possibly independence of Ukraine. Putin threated such actions. Russia-Georgia war over South Ossetia is such precedent.
Wow! My video appendix, which shows over 80 witness testimonies about snipers in Maidan-controlled buildings, was admitted as evidence & shown at Maidan massacre trial. There is censorship of this & other such evidence revealed by this #trial in #Ukraine
My video appendix is shown starting at 24:29 in the official online video recording of the trial. I was not involved in the #Maidan massacre #trial or in providing my video appendix as evidence for this trial of the century in #Ukraine.
Such witness testimonies along with overwhelming other evidence that I presented in my academic studies show that Maidan snipers and not Berkut police massacred Maidan protesters and that denial of such snipers by government investigation in #Ukraine is a cover-up.
Even Maidan victims lawyer confirms two major findings of my #Maidan massacre studies. He admits that snipers in Music Conservatory started massacre by shooting unarmed Berkut & Internal Troops & that there were snipers on Horodetskoho Street building who massacred protesters.
Maidan victims lawyer states on basis of government investigation that member of Internal Troops was killed on Maidan by Music Conservatory sniper in the back when he was sitting & smoking (26m) This Maidan sniper admitted killing police in Ukrainian media
Maidan victims lawyer states that testimonies & videos show that snipers in Horodetskoho Street building attic massacred Maidan protesters sideways (8m) Government investigation denies that there were snipers in this & other Maidan-controlled buildings.
Opposition #Belarusian blogger, who served in neo-Nazi-led Azov regiment in #Ukraine & was arrested in #Belarus after diversion of Ryanair passenger plane, is released to house arrest & posts his video on Twitter in another evidence of cooperation with Belarussian authorities.
It is revealing that he was glorified & whitewashed in spite of evidence of his #NeoNazi background & cooperation with #Belarussian authorities after his arrest, while a few scholars who pointed such evidence, came under attacks for this. As usual, there would be no mea culpas.
