Nazi symbols prevalent in Ukrainian military – Le Monde

(Gives you a bit of insight when you think of all our congress critters who wear Ukrainian flags on their lapels now doesn't it?)

from RT

Ukrainian soldiers continue to publicly display neo-Nazi symbols – including swastikas, SS tattoos, and Nazi salutes – according to an investigation by French outlet Le Monde.

In its report, published on Wednesday, Le Monde identified nearly 350 Ukrainian troops posting neo-Nazi imagery online, including Nazi salutes, swastika tattoos, Black Sun emblems, and Totenkopf insignias. According to the research, at least 200 of those identified serve in Kiev’s 3rd Assault Brigade.

Russia has repeatedly accused Kiev of fostering neo-Nazi ideology and glorifying WW2-era Hitler collaborators and has demanded the “denazification” of Ukraine as part of a negotiated peace agreement.

Formed in 2023, the 3rd Assault Brigade is a direct successor of the Azov Regiment – originally created in 2014 by far-right figure, Andrei Biletsky. Azov has been accused by multiple human rights groups, as well as the UN, of war crimes and torture and has been widely criticized for its use of symbols tied to the Waffen-SS.

According to Le Monde, the 3rd Assault Brigade has received military training from several NATO countries, including France, Spain, Germany, the UK and Canada, who have also poured in billions in military support to Ukraine. The paper noted that some soldiers sent to France in 2023 bore visible SS tattoos. When questioned, the French Ministry of the Armed Forces stated that it was the responsibility of Ukraine to vet the personnel...

What Russia Wants to Bring Peace to Ukraine

Nazi Musk and DOGE claim to be rooting out corruption and fraud

Zelensky claimed to be rooting out corruption and fraud 

by Scott Creighton

While Zelensky made it perfectly clear he wants to continue with the war, we should ask ourselves what does Russia want? What is so outrageous about it?

 'Russia's demands were Ukraine's recognition of Russian-occupied Crimea, independence for separatist-controlled Luhansk and Donetsk, and "de-militarisation" and "de-Nazification". Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba stated that while his country was ready for talks to resume, Russia's demands had not changed.'

Crimea held a referendum and voted by a massive majority to leave Ukraine and rejoin with Russia back in 2014.

'The official result from the Autonomous Republic of Crimea was a 97 percent vote for integration of the region into the Russian Federation, with an 83 percent voter turnout, and from Sevastopol there was also a 97 percent vote for integration with Russia, with an 89 percent voter turnout.'

Since 2014 Ukraine has been bombing the people of Donbass because they want to separate from the neoliberal fascist state of Ukraine after Barack Obama's bloody coup. 

'The Ukrainian Army appears to have fired cluster munitions on several occasions into the heart of Donetsk, unleashing a weapon banned in much of the world into a rebel-held city with a peacetime population of more than one million, according to physical evidence and interviews with witnesses and victims.

Sites where rockets fell in the city on Oct. 2 and Oct. 5 showed clear signs that cluster munitions had been fired from the direction of army-held territory, where misfired artillery rockets still containing cluster bomblets were found by villagers in farm fields.' NYT 2014 

Of course Russia wants Ukraine to remain neutral and not become a member of NATO right alongside their border but more than that, they want them to get the Nazis out of their government. Who could blame Russia for not wanting nuclear armed Nazis right next door after what happened in WWII?

Ex-member of Ukrainian neo-Nazi unit stars on Netflix

(Michele Obama has a production company that works with Netflix and has produced multiple shows for the network. What a shock they are straight up fascists over there.)

from RT

A retired US Marine who served in Ukraine’s notorious nationalist Azov Battalion has been revealed as among the participants in the new season of Netflix reality dating show ‘Love is Blind’.

The streaming giant published the first six episodes of the seventh season of the franchise on Wednesday. The show’s premise involves single men and women deciding whether to commit to marriage with a chosen partner before seeing him or her in person.

Among the participants is Bohdan Olinares, introduced as a “proud immigrant and Ukrainian refugee” grateful to be living “the American dream.” He is looking for a partner who can “embrace his history and unique upbringing.”

“The former Marine was previously married for five years, which he considers the craziest thing he’s done for love,” according to the description. “Since then, Bohdan has become crystal clear about what he’s searching for thanks to the power of time and therapy.”

Olinares, 36, was interviewed last year by the US state-funded news outlet Voice of America (VOA) which reported how he had traveled back to Ukraine and joined the Azov Battalion – the notorious unit that originated as a neo-Nazi organization with extensive ties to far-right movements around the world...

US Supported Ukrainian Neo-Nazi Azov Battalion Since 2023 Despite Ban - Report

(Yeah, we fund and train Nazis in Israel to run the Salvador Option on the people of Gaza, so why not fund and train real Nazis in Ukraine? apparently it's legal now.)

from Sputnik News

 

 The Ukrainian neo-Nazi Azov Battalion* received US assistance in 2023 despite official bans from Washington, the Intercept reports.

"A photo, posted by the [Azov] unit itself (...) seems to suggest that the US was providing support as far back as December of last year," the article has stated.

 

The photo in question was published on social media and included an Azov commander with a certificate dated December 2023 for military training under US Special Operations Command in Europe. Beside him is a person in American military attire with a concealed face. Another image shows individuals in military gear holding a US flag next to people with an Azov emblem flag.

 

These photos question the enforcement of the ban. Former US officials also expressed doubts about the State Department's decision, given the complex reorganization and official status of the unit. The State Department should have better explained its decisions, the publication noted.

 

Last week, The Washington Post reported that the US lifted an arms embargo on Azov. According to the media, this unit "passed Leahy vetting," which prohibits military aid to foreign units involved in severe human rights abuses. The State Department said it found "no evidence" of such violations. The State Department declined to clarify when the ban was lifted or if Azov militants received US weapons...

Will U.S. Troops Train a Nazi Regiment in Ukraine? (archive)

(archived from January 22, 2015)

by Scott Creighton

This spring the U.S. will be sending troops to Ukraine to help train four companies of the Ukrainian National Guard. Heading up that mission will be the head of US Army Europe Lt. Gen Ben Hodges.

The story of the national guard in Ukraine is an interesting one. Back in 2000 it was disbanded altogether only to be revived after the color revolution crafted by our State Department. They’ve been steadily trying to recruit members since May and a new recruiting drive hopes to net another 10,000 for service by time the training begins.

The question is, will U.S. troops be asked to train Ukrainian Nazis of the Azov Battalion during this process? That would be some turn around from WWII wouldn’t it? I wonder if those troops have any family members who fought the Nazis during WWII. And now they might be tasked with training new ones?
