Die Welt: Ukraine Army position heavy artillery in residential areas, close to social infrastructure, hospitals, 2022
a poor trannoscript:
What we have also experienced here is destroyed residential buildings, destroyed schools. We also saw it in Bachmut, of course, it is a fact and that is also part of the truth of this war that (and we have already repeatedly seen and heard) the Ukraine position their guns, whether they are howitzers, whether they are mortars or grenade launchers, they actually position them in residential areas and often in the vicinity of civilian facilities and hospitals too.
That is also part of it, it has to be formulated clearly and we also heard from the soldiers that, on the one hand, it is possible to hold the lines of defense for the most part, but on the other hand, you also have to take heavy losses, the Russians are also there south of Bachmut troops when it was not far but advanced again...
P.S. Whoever can make a decent job of trannoscripting this video, will be praised!

Reuters: In the battle between Ukraine and Russian separatists, shady private armies take the field, 2015
quote:
... More than 30 of these private battalions, comprised mostly of volunteer soldiers, exist throughout Ukraine. Although all have been brought under the authority of the military or the National Guard, the post-Maidan government is still struggling to control them.
Some* of Ukraine’s private battalions have blackened the country’s international reputation with their extremist views. The Azov battalion, partially funded by Taruta and Kolomoisky, uses the Nazi Wolfsangel symbol as its logo, and many of its members openly espouse neo-Nazi, anti-Semitic views.
The battalion members have spoken about “bringing the war to Kiev,” and said that Ukraine needs “a strong dictator to come to power who could shed plenty of blood but unite the nation in the process.”...

LA Times: Ukrainian political parties publicly praise many aspects of Nazism, 2014
quote:
It’s become popular to dismiss Russian President Vladimir Putin as paranoid and out of touch with reality. But his denunciation of “neofascist extremists” within the movement that toppled the old Ukrainian government, and in the ranks of the new one, is worth heeding.
...
why wave a red flag in front of a nervous bull? The answer is that for Svoboda, Right Sector and other Ukrainian far-right organizations, it was barely a handkerchief. These are groups whose thuggish young legions still sport a swastika-like symbol, whose leaders have publicly praised many aspects of Nazism and who venerate the World War II nationalist leader Stepan Bandera, whose troops occasionally collaborated with Hitler’s and massacred thousands of Poles and Jews.
...
But scarier than these parties’ whitewashing of the past are their plans for the future. They have openly advocated that no Russian language be taught in Ukrainian schools, that citizenship is only for those who pass Ukrainian language and culture exams, that only ethnic Ukrainians may adopt Ukrainian orphans and that new passports must identify their holders’ ethnicity — be it Ukrainian, Pole, Russian, Jew or other.
Is it so hard to understand Russians’ shock that senior U.S. officials (such as Sen. John McCain, Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland) flirt with extremists who have been denounced as anti-Semitic, xenophobic, even neo-Nazi by numerous human rights and anti-defamation groups? That they were snapping pictures and distributing pastries among protest leaders, some of whose minions were at that same moment distributing “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” on Independence Square?
...
The European Parliament in 2012 condemned Svoboda’s racism, anti-Semitism and xenophobia as “against the EU’s fundamental values and principles.” The U.S. should not hesitate to do likewise now. It is not only the right thing to do, it would also open a door to compromise with Russia over this dangerous crisis. To remain silent sends exactly the wrong message to extremists on both sides.

Sky News Australia: Zelensky endorsing The Right Sector, 2022
The Cory Bernardi special on the Australian TV.
quote:
I can't bite my tongue any longer...
...
The West glosses over is the terrible things that have happened to the primarily ethnic Russian people in parts of the Ukraine under Zelensky's rule.
...
This was just after they were promised to vote on independence in 2014. That vote has never taken place. Zelensky promised to end the civil war. He clearly hasn't done so. Instead he's facilitated the goading of Russians by endorsing The Right Sector* whose leader publicly claimed he: "Fed the bones of Russian children to his pet wolf"**
==quote's end==
* The Right Sector is an openly fascist political party in Ukraine with a wide paramilitary wing serving in the official Ukraine Armed Forces. (source of the claims: The Guardian, The Time and others)

Max Blumenthal: John McCain and Paul Ryan Hold 'Good Meeting' With Veteran Ukrainian Nazi Demagogue Andriy Parubiy, 2017
quote:
Andriy Parubiy is one of the most notorious right-wing extremists in Ukrainian politics. A founder of the far-right Social-National Party of Ukraine, whose name and symbols were inspired by Germany’s Nazi Party, Parubiy directed the street muscle in Kiev’s Maidan Square that drove the 2014 U.S.-backed coup against Ukraine’s democratically elected, Russian-oriented government.
In 2016, just two decades after founding a neo-fascist party that declared at its opening ceremony that it was the “last hope of the white race, of humankind as such,” Parubiy leveraged his street cred to rise to the chairman of Ukraine’s parliament, the Verkhovna Rada.
P.S. Well, there are many photos of US figures meeting with Ukraine nazis out there, including ones with Victoria Nuland and Biden

Jewish Telegraphic Agency: According to the Israel’s government Report — Ukraine had more anti-Semitic incidents than all former Soviet countries combined, 2017
quote:
"""
In its main annual report on anti-Semitism, Israel’s government singled out Ukraine as unusual in Eastern Europe for the alleged increase in attacks there, triggering protest by Kiev.
The allegation appeared in the anti-Semitism report for 2017 that the Ministry for Diaspora Affairs under Education Minister Naftali Bennett published last week, ahead of the Jan. 27 International Day of Holocaust Remembrance.
“A striking exception in the trend of decrease in anti-Semitic incidents in Eastern Europe was Ukraine, where the number of recorded anti-Semitic attacks was doubled from last year and surpassed the tally for all the incidents reported throughout the entire region combined,” the report said.
The report did not name the total number of incidents reported but a ministry spokesperson queried by JTA said that throughout 2017, more than 130 incidents of anti-Semitism had been reported, including violent assaults, in Ukraine. The data came from Jewish communities and Nativ, an Israeli government agency that used to be part of the intelligence services but today deals exclusively with issues connected to aliyah, or immigration by Jews and their relatives to Israel.
"""
P.S. Do you remember the post about Senior Ukrainian rabbi playing down nazi threat right after the Maidan coup 2014? Well, how did it play out, rabbi? Remember Martin Niemöller now?

The Washington Post: The first act of the new Ukrainian government was against the Russian language, 2014 (or use this link, or this one to remove the paywall)
quote:
The new leaders in Kiev [after the Maidan revolution] include ultra-nationalists who, in one of their first acts, voted to repeal the 2012 law allowing Russian and other minority languages to be used locally.
(Not surprisingly, these new leaders are very unpopular in semi-autonomous Crimea, which is populated largely by Russian-speaking people, and in many parts of eastern and southern Ukraine.)
It is also worth noting that a key ally of the new government, holding central leadership positions in the parliament and law enforcement, is the Svoboda party, which the European Parliament has condemned for its “racist, anti-Semitic and xenophobic views.”
P.S.
Do you recognize the guy in the photo? It's Parubiy, the founder of the first openly fascist party in Ukraine. (source The Washington Post). He was working hard on banning Russian language.

quote:
The head of the National Security and Defense Council, in charge of the armed forces, is Andriy Parubiy, who founded the Social-National Party of Ukraine, an openly neo-fascist precursor to Svoboda.
The far-right parties have long championed Ukrainian-only laws that ban the use of the Russian language in official business. They have ideas about rewriting history books and celebrating Ukrainian — as opposed to Russian or Jewish — ethnic heritage. Svoboda's platform, for example, calls for Ukrainian passports to specify the bearer’s ethnicity.
