Ukraine serves “as a training ground for the extremist right… Ukrainian military units like #Azov Battalion and Right Sector. Both organizations have known ties to an international network of neo-Nazis & active positions on the frontlines of the war in eastern #Ukraine.” (2020)
“The conflict in eastern #Ukraine is to the white supremacists what Afghanistan was to the Salafi-jihadists in the 80’s and 90’s,” said Saltskog.
“Remember, al-Qaeda, for which the English translation is ‘The Base,’ was born out of the conflict in Afghanistan.” @VICE (2020)
“Travelling to #Ukraine allows American neo-Nazis to gain actual combat experience to bring back home.” @VICE (2020)
Ukraine's far-right #Svoboda party glorifies Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), who erected a monument to Stepan #Bandera (WW2 Nazi collaborator) and is complicit in the ethnic cleansing of Poles from what is now Ukrainian territory.
🚨Zelensky party deputies propose new law to allow Ukrainian Armed Forces commanders to *kill* their soldiers in order to stop mass surrenders and flight from positions.
More Ukrainian soldiers lay down arms and refuse to fight as they plead for help amid the realities of being outgunned and under equipped.
This is the demoralized remnant of the 14th brigade of the UAF 4th, 5th and 6th companies (or rather, what’s left of them). #Ukraine
A collapse of the UAF 🇺🇦 is imminent.
Ukrainian soldiers of the 13th battalion of the 58th brigade publicly denounce Zelensky for using them as “cannon fodder” – many are conscripts who attest to never using a weapon prior to the current conflict. #Ukraine
➤ Neo-Nazi leader Yevhen Karas, leader of Ukraine's neo-Nazi terror gang S14 (a.k.a. C14)
The "14" in C14 refers to 14 words coined by American neo-Nazi David Lane "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children."
No, Ukraine is not a symbol of freedom and liberal democracy.
There's a concerted effort to portray Ukraine 🇺🇦 not only as a victim of brutal Russian aggression but as a heroic and noble bulwark of freedom and democracy.
The conventional narrative would have us believe that #Ukraine is an Eastern European version of Denmark. It is not.
