Neo-Nazis and the Far Right Are On the March in Ukraine

Five years after the Maidan uprising, anti-Semitism and fascist-inflected ultranationalism are rampant.

Here's how Ukraine was being reported by the West before the war.

Today, increasing reports of far-right violence, ultranationalism, and erosion of basic freedoms are giving the lie to the West’s initial euphoria. There are neo-Nazi pogroms against the Roma, rampant attacks on feminists and LGBT groups, book bans, and state-sponsored glorification of Nazi collaborators.

These stories of Ukraine’s dark nationalism aren’t coming out of Moscow; they’re being filed by Western media, including US-funded Radio Free Europe (RFE); Jewish organizations such as the World Jewish Congress and the Simon Wiesenthal Center; and watchdogs like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and Freedom House, which issued a joint report warning that Kiev is losing the monopoly on the use of force in the country as far-right gangs operate with impunity.

Five years after Maidan, the beacon of democracy is looking more like a torchlight march. A neo-Nazi battalion in the heart of Europe

If you whitewash NAZI POGROMS just because you want to beat Russia, fuck you. Siding with far-right fascists to defeat far-right fascists doesn't make you the good guy. There is no lesser of two evils here.

If you dismiss any criticism of Ukraine as Russian propaganda, you might want to ask why the rest of the world, including the West, was concerned about Nazism in the area and then suddenly changed their tune only after the war started.

We should be getting both sides into peace negotiations, not prolonging the bloodshed and providing Nazis with illegal cluster bombs

    Neat take, I guess.

    I look forward to the dirt-cheap Russian labor in the decades to come.

      You are an abhorrent, racist, bloodthirsty piece of shit that can't even be called a human being. A hollow cuck to the elite motivated only by selfish greed. The word libertarian also applies.

      Either way, modern slave owners deserve death.

      Your comment is pretty honest with what the West's endgame is here. Obviously that account is an alt and probably abandoned but viewers can learn from this toxic admission of truth:

      -splinter and destroy Russia to restore the practice of shock doctrine to harvest the country of its labor and resources.

      • destroy China's BRI (Belt & Road Initiative) to unify Asia and Europe through rail and infrastructure

      • Focus on balkanizing China and harvesting their resources and labor once again.

      • Move on to Africa afterward, and renew an age of 18th-20th century American-European imperialism.
