Časopis argument (Czech Republic): The ultra-nationalist Ukrainian regime, 2022

quote:
Awarding the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought: "the brave Ukrainian people represented by Volodymyr Zelensky" is like a punch in the face...

It is crazy that although today the Ukrainian liberals are in fierce opposition* to Zelensky, our progressives and all Western and EU liberals support the ultra-nationalist Ukrainian regime instead.
...
remember the year 2015, when the parliament voted on a special status for Donetsk and Lugansk (as required by the Minsk I), while a supporter of the Ukrainian fascist party Svoboda tossed a grenade between policemen – the result was four dead and dozens injured as a result.
...
After the Maidan, democracy did not become stronger, but the ultra-right and the oligarchy did.
...
In Ukraine we see an absurd mixture of ultra-nationalism, neoliberalism and Atlanticism as a coalition of pro-European attitudes.

FoxNews: Actual historical nazis are made national icons in Ukraine, while incorporating contemporary nazis into the Ukrainian state, 2022

The classic Nazis are officially present in the state structures of Ukraine, and cooperating with them in order to defeat Putin is absurd, at least as much as supporting the Islamic State in Syria, the well-known British journalist Maajid Nawaz told Fox News.

The journalist drew attention to the fact that the President of Ukraine banned all opposition parties, but did not ban the Nazis. In the past, Nawaz has loudly criticized Putin's policies in the Middle East. However, when it comes to Ukraine, he explains that the Western public is being misled.

Stern: Neo-Nazis "are part of the chain of Ukrainian defense", 2015

quote:
The Ukrainian ambassador [Andrey Melnik, a well-known nazi apologist] played this down: "These associations are controlled and coordinated by Kyiv." Melnyk didn't care how crazy this was. When Jauch repeatedly asked whether he was sure that the right-wingers in Ukraine were fighting Russia, Melnyk left him cold.

His simple argument: The neo-Nazis "are part of the chain of defense" because without them the defense against Russia would have been much more difficult, he explained. This topic was not elaborated on, but, like the accusation that tanks and weapons could be bought on the market in Ukraine, left incomprehension.

to be continued with video of the scandal...

On February 15, Ambassador Vladimir Grinin took part in the ARD program "Günther Jauch". Other guests were the chairman of the foreign affairs committee in the Bundestag, Norbert Roentgen, and the new Ukrainian ambassador to Germany, Andrij Melnik. The group of representatives discussed the current situation in the Ukraine crisis.

Andrij Melnik, being a well known nazi apologist, has stated that Ukrainian nazis from The Azov regiment and The Right Sector are being controlled by the Kiev general staff, are coordinated by the military and there is really nothing to fear.

It was the year 2015 (first year of the Ukraine Civil War), 7 years before the Russo-Ukrainian war of 2022. No one gave a damn about Melnik's words. No one cared that nazis are being used against Ukraine population in Donbass. What could go wrong? I mean, Donbass wouldn't mind, right?

Interfax-Ukraine: The Ukrainian Book Institute Director wants more than 100 million books in Russian language to be scrapped, 2022

Oleksandra Koval, The Director of the Ukrainian Book Institute (belongs to the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine), suggested that more than 100 million copies of books in Russian language should be removed from the public libraries.

quote:

"While the process of preparing regulatory documents continues, it is difficult to predict (how long the removal process will last - IF). But, according to my calculations, public library collections may currently have more than 100 million copies of literature that will require removal.

We want to do it faster, but it would be good if at least the ideologically harmful literature published during the Soviet era (by the way, in two languages, Russian and Ukrainian), of which there is a lot, as well as Russian literature with anti-Ukrainian content, were removed by the end of the year," Koval said in an interview with "Interfax-Ukraine" agency.
