L'Obs (Le Nouvel Observateur, France): I've seen the other Ukraine, which celebrates the SS and nazi crimes, 2013

quote:
The nationalists and their supporters, led by the far-right party Svoboda, acknowledge the past collaboration with the nazis. They have commemorated this year, the 70th anniversary of the creation of the division SS Halychyna, who had fought in the ranks of the Germans at the battle of Brody (July 1944)

The words of the authorities (mayor, president of the elders of the division...) succeed one another all the more inflamed than the other, closed by Irina Sekh, Member of Ukraine Parliament. A singer "engaged" intones then patriotic songs, followed by still living members of the Armed Insurgency Ukrainian

P.S. the pic:
1) The guy has a 'Breast eagle', a 3rd SS Panzer Division Totenkopf insignia on his chest. It's quite popular in Ukraine (Zelensky post, AZOV battalion promotion billboard).

2) Irina Sekh thrusts her hands into the air praising UPA members responsible for ethnic cleansings

The Fair Observer: The Ukrainian Revolution’s Neo-Fascist Problem, 2014

a quote from the article:
The Donbass, Dnepr and Azov battalions along with regular army artillery units are responsible for many of the attacks on civilians and residential areas in eastern Ukraine under Avakov’s antiterrorist operation. The tactics appear to be that regular army artillery units soften the target, “followed by chaotic, violent assaults” by the battalions. The Ukrainian army and some of the more well-armed neo-fascist battalions’ paramilitary groups have been using heavy weapons, including unguided Grad rockets, in civilian-populated areas for months. Human Rights Watch released a belated report condemning Kiev’s practice.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) chief, Avakov (on the photo), Parubiy (article about his nazism ideas), and other officials defend their use of neo-Nazis in their antiterrorist operation [against Donbass].

And just for fun... The BBC tries to show that there are no nazis in Ukraine and .... for this job of whitewashing Ukraine, picks Svoboda members for the interviews.

Epic fail. 🤦🏻 On the other hand, you can say that it's the BBC luck that it didn't interview these two idiots. So it could have been worse 😅.... wait a minute.... WAIT A MINUTE..... what in the name of..... ??? Those two idiots are from .... another BBC Exclusive about Members of Ukraine Parliament brandishing 14/88 right in the Parliament itself!

Am I being to hard on the BBC for it not watching the BBC? 🥴

So, in the end it got more epic 🍿

Wall Street Journal: Ukraine ombudsman for human rights dismissed and being accused of making unverifiable statements about alleged Russian sex crimes, 2022

quote:
Ukrainian lawmakers dismissed the country’s ombudsman for human rights, Lyudmyla Denisova, in a no-confidence vote on Tuesday, concluding that she had failed to fulfill obligations including the facilitation of humanitarian corridors and countering the deportation of Ukrainians from occupied territory.

A lawmaker, the Chief Consultant of the Staff of the Ukraine Parliament and a member of Ukraine Parliament of the 9th convocation Pavlo Frolov said that Ms. Denisova was also accused of making insensitive and unverifiable statements about alleged Russian sex crimes and spending too much time in Western Europe during the invasion.

“The unclear focus of the Ombudsman's media work on the numerous details of ‘sexual crimes committed in an unnatural way’ and ‘rape of children’ in the occupied territories that could not be confirmed by evidence, only harmed Ukraine,” Mr. Frolov said in a Facebook post.

Washington Post, Deutsche Welle, The Times: Doxing the enemies of the state. Official Open Ukraine Database, 2014

2014, Anton Gerashenko (Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs, and MP) presented a website: Mirotvorets (Myrotvorets or Peacemaker in english). This website doxes journalist, media figures of Ukraine and foreign citizenship which according to Gerashenko are terrorist, enemies of Ukraine. Here is a list of articles concerning this open official DB of the enemies of the Ukraine state:

◼️ Washington Post: Ukrainian hackers publish info on thousands of journalists, 2016
quote:
"A letter signed by about 40 Ukrainian and foreign journalists said that some of those on the list had received threatening emails and phone calls, while a broader concern was that some Ukrainian politicians were now calling for the journalists to be considered “enemies of Ukraine” and barred from working in the country."

◼️ Deutsche Welle: Gerhard Schröder labeled 'enemy of the state' in Ukraine, 2018

◼️ The New York Times: Branded a ‘Terrorist’ for Reporting Two Sides of Ukraine’s War, 2016

◼️ The Times (UK): Ukraine’s blacklist: Killers, lawyers, writers and spies, 2022

◼️ The Daily Beast: Ukraine Tries to Terrify Journalists Who Cover the War, 2017
quote:
The first targets for the trolls unleashed by the Myrotvorets were Ukrainian journalists. Freelance reporter Roman Stepanovich received a message on his email: “Let you die, a separatist beach! Glory to Ukraine!”
Yekaterina Sergatskova, an anchor at Hramadske TV, felt frustrated: "Now they accuse us of ‘helping the terrorists,’” she told The Daily Beast. “This is a project curated by the Security Service of Ukraine and praised by Anton Geraschenko [at the Interior Ministry]. He was the one who originally initiated that project.”

◼️ Interfax Ukraine: OSCE Representative Mijatovich expresses concern about journalists’ safety in Ukraine, 2016

A bit of a context:

◼️ In April 2015, Myrotvorets published the home addresses of Ukrainian writer Oles Buzina and former Verkhovna Rada parliamentarian Oleg Kalashnikov, just days before they were assassinated.

◼️ Andrea Rocchelli, an Italian journalist murdered by the Ukrainian army in 2014 during the Donbas war, has been filed on the site. In Rocchelli's file, on whose photo the Myrotvorets Center has applied the red writing superimposed "Liquidated", there is a note stating that the photojournalist was "cooperating with pro-Russian terrorist organizations" and that he had violated the border of state of Ukraine to enter the territory occupied by "Russian terrorist gangs".

◼️ In 2018, Svetlana Alexievich, Nobel Prize in Literature, received threats from local nationalists and had to cancel a meeting with readers in the Green Theater of the Ukrainian city of Odessa when her name was added to a list of "enemies of Ukraine" by the Myrotvorets for "propagating interethnic discord and manipulating information important for society".

◼️On 11 October 2018, Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said: "It is a lie that the Ukrainian state has nothing to do with the website that is listing suspected dual Ukrainian-Hungarian nationals", and claimed that President Petro Poroshenko "gave his consent to the hate campaign in an attempt to increase his popularity"

Former US Secretary of State Kissinger hit the Enemies of Ukraine State database — "Peacemaker aka Mirotvorets"

According to the doxing database (sponsored by the Ukraine government), the diplomat allegedly taking part in the "information special action by Russia against Ukraine."

"Participation in the information security operation Russia against Ukraine. Distribution of narratives of Russian propaganda and blackmail "- says the DB

Previously, Kissinger urged Ukraine to make concessions in negotiations with Russia. US diplomat warned that the lack of agreement will lead to disastrous consequences for the stability of Europe in the long term. He also pointed out that Western unity on sanctions much wear.

P.S. on the image is a webpage from this doxing database with Kissinger's personal info (not much is revealed though, I guess, the admins just couldn't reach the CIA for the details on Henry )
