Excerpt:
As Ukraines armed forces tighten the noose around pro-Russian separatists in the east of the country, the western-backed government in Kiev is throwing militia groups some openly neo-Nazi - into the front of the battle.
The Azov battalion has the most chilling reputation of all. Last week, it came to the fore as it mounted a bold attack on the rebel redoubt of Donetsk, striking deep into the suburbs of a city under siege.
But Kievs use of volunteer paramilitaries to stamp out the Russian-backed Donetsk and Luhansk peoples republics, proclaimed in eastern Ukraine in March, should send a shiver down Europes spine. Recently formed battalions such as Donbas, Dnipro and Azov, with several thousand men under their command, are officially under the control of the interior ministry but their financing is murky, their training inadequate and their ideology often alarming.
The Azov men use the neo-Nazi Wolfsangel (Wolfs Hook) symbol on their banner and members of the battalion are openly white supremacists, or anti-Semites.
A former history student and amateur boxer, Mr Biletsky is also head of an extremist Ukrainian group called the Social National Assembly. The historic mission of our nation in this critical moment is to lead the White Races of the world in a final crusade for their survival, he wrote in a recent commentary. A crusade against the Semite-led Untermenschen.
The battalion itself is founded on right wing views, the commander said in Urzuf, and no Nazi convictions could exclude a recruit. The most important thing is being a good fighter and a good brother so that we can trust each other, he said.
Asked about his Nazi sympathies, he said: After the First World World War, Germany was a total mess and Hitler rebuilt it: he built houses and roads, put in telephone lines, and created jobs. I respect that. Homosexuality is a mental illness and the scale of the Holocaust is a big question, he added.
This article lays it all out folks. It can't be hidden anymore. The US media has been covering it all up. The US government has climbed into bed with nazis in Ukraine.
