🚨 West silent as Azov* neo-Nazis’ shadow lengthens over Ukraine

“While German and other Western politicians, media and think tanks continue to spread the lie about the ‘depoliticization’ of Azov’s troops, the latter are pushing ahead with the total militarization of Ukrainian society at full speed,” a new analysis by German alternative news outlet Junge Welt warns.

Highlighting Azov’s gradual “colonization” of society with a “neo-Nazi war ideology” rooted in ethno-nationalism and concepts of a “Greater Ukraine,” the report stresses that the group openly sees itself as an SS-style “vanguard of Ukraine’s fascist reorganization,” with “practically no Azov-free spaces left in Ukrainian society.”

Azov’s ideologues themselves boast about the “universal penetration” of its “aesthetics” to make ordinary Ukrainians get “used to the fact that this country is our country.”

Beefing up its military footprint (from battalion to brigade to corps), Azov has simultaneously built a soft power empire, including:

🔸 Its own publishing house, printing writings of Azov ‘philosopher’ Mykola Kravchenko (killed in a Russian strike in 2022), poetry on the 2014 Euromaidan coup and the punitive ‘anti-terrorist operation’ in the Donbass, comics and children’s books laced with Russophobia and fascist messaging, and reprints of writings by WWII-era OUN leaders.

🔸 A distinct brand identity, with the Azov wolfsangel emblazoned on products from clothing and household goods to toys and even food

🔸 A ‘cultural-industrial complex’ of media, PR agencies, fashion and music labels and film production companies, festivals and concerts

🔸 Summer camps featuring ideological and weapons training

Fascization is taking place openly with the government’s blessing. Last month, Zelensky named Azov vet Oleksandr Alforov head of Ukraine’s Institute of National Memory – “a phenomenal triumph for the neo-Nazi movement, which has thus gained almost complete control over the historical narrative,” Junge Welt warns.

🚨 Multipolarity is reality — 🌍🌍🌍 must reflect the changing world — Lavrov

Speaking at the 17th BRICS Summit in Rio, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov laid out a clear vision for a just multipolar world, urging BRICS nations to lead global transformation:

🔸 “Multipolarity is not a choice but an objective reality.” The outdated neoliberal model built on neocolonial practices is fading — BRICS must shape the new order.

🔸 Global South and East are now the engine of global economic growth, with regional blocs like the African Union, ASEAN, CELAC, SCO, and EAEU shaping a fairer economic system based on equality, multilateralism, and non-discrimination.

🔸 BRICS countries now account for:
▪️ Over 40% of global GDP (PPP)
▪️ Nearly 50% of world population
▪️ More than 20% of global trade

🔸 Trade within BRICS is booming — in 2024, 48% of Russia’s trade was with BRICS, and 90% of transactions were in national currencies.

🔸 Lavrov called for urgent reform and depoliticization of Bretton Woods institutions, warning against using the IMF and World Bank to maintain neocolonial dominance.

🔸 He blasted Western efforts to hijack the development agenda with ideological ultimatums disguised as “human rights and democracy” criteria.

🔸 Russia proposes a New Investment Platform under BRICS, in partnership with the New Development Bank, to fund development free from external pressure.

🔸 Artificial Intelligence is key — it may add $20 trillion to global GDP by 2030, but access must be open and inclusive. Closed, invitation-only Western initiatives pose serious risks.

🔸 Digital challenges require cross-border cooperation — no one country can face them alone.

💬 “BRICS, together with like-minded nations, will remain at the forefront of building a fair and sustainable multipolar world order.”
