▫️"Being in a defensive position does not exempt the Ukrainian military from respecting international humanitarian law" - Agnès Callamard
The Ukrainian military has endangered civilians by establishing bases and operating weapons systems in residential areas - including in schools and hospitals.
Ukraine’s tactics have violated humanitarian law as they’ve turned civilian objects into military targets.

Myśl Polska (Poland): Resurgence of Nazism in Ukraine, 2021
quote:
"""Ukraine has not only extreme nationalism in the form of banderism, but also regular Nazism, a clear manifestation of which is the glorification of SS Galizien, monumental necropolises of SS members, annual parades on the streets and a whole network of organizations, both political and paramilitary, that use and justify Nazi ideology.
All of this looks like some kind of nightmare, a reality that would only have been common in Europe if Hitler had won the war. Until now, such events, organizations, and people associated with them functioned almost exclusively in the western regions of Ukraine, those that were part of the Second Republic of Poland before 1939. However, this is now changing.
This year, for the first time, there was a march in honor of SS Galizien, in the country's capital, Kiev. The authorities of this city allowed it. """

The Telegraph (UK): 70 scholars appeal to President of Ukraine to call off the 'history laws' making it "a crime to question the legitimacy of UPA that slaughtered tens of thousands of Poles", 2015
quote:
A group of 70 scholars on Ukraine appealed to Mr Poroshenko to call off the “history laws”, saying they would stifle debate and make it “a crime to question the legitimacy of an organization (UPA) that slaughtered tens of thousands of Poles in one of the most heinous acts of ethnic cleansing in the history of Ukraine”.
The UPA was established as a guerrilla group in 1942. The previous year, Roman Shukhevych and other Ukrainian nationalists had formed the Nachtigall and Roland battalions under German command to support the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union.
Members of the OUN and UPA massacred between 60,000 and 100,000 Poles in Volhynia and Galicia, and also helped kill Jews.

Zelensky has never apologized for the following statement he made this past March: "The Ukrainians made a choice 80 years ago, we saved Jews..." He is right the Ukrainian people made a choice 80 years ago, but it wasn't to save Jews.
Almost without exception, Ukrainians either participated in the mass murder of Jews or said nothing as their Jewish neighbors were rounded up and slaughtered in places like Babi Yar.
The complicity of Ukrainians in these mass murders was greater than in most other countries.

Forward (Israel): Ukraine has been erecting monuments to Nazi collaborators and Holocaust perpetrators at an astounding pace since 2014
quote:
Beginning in 2014, when the Maidan uprising brought a new government to Ukraine, the country has been erecting monuments to Nazi collaborators and Holocaust perpetrators at an astounding pace — there’s been a new plaque or street renaming nearly every week. Because of this, the Ukraine section represents an extremely partial listing of the several hundred monuments, statues, and streets named after Nazi collaborators in Ukraine.
Over the past six years, Ukraine has been institutionalizing worship of the paramilitary Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, which collaborated with the Nazis and aided in the slaughter of Jews, and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), which massacred thousands of Jews and 70,000-100,000 Poles.

Large billboards (web.archive) were displayed across the city of Kherson on the occasion of the anniversary of the act of restoration of Ukraine (published on June 30, 1941).
Watch the wide ribbon in colors of the Ukrainian flag on the right side of the billboard closely.
Do you think this is an accidental ornamental element? Its width unwitting? Its placement unintentional?🤔
No... The ribbon is covering the 3rd article of "The Act". But why?
The said "article" stipulates the Ukraine cooperation with the Nazi Germany.
Let's read it together, shall we? 😊

Something looks strange about this Ukrainian tank... Oh, wait the Balkenkreuz.
The Balkenkreuz (lit. '"beam cross" or "bar cross"') is a straight-armed cross became the emblem of the Nazi Wehrmacht. It was used by the Wehrmacht Heer (Army), Luftwaffe (Air Force), and Kriegsmarine (Navy).
P.S. There were other instances of Balkenkreuz usage by the Ukraine Army.
By the way, there is another nazi insignia on the tank. The yellow one. First it was used by the neo-nazi Social-Nationalist party of Ukriane the leader of which later became The Chairman of Ukraine Parliament.
