The battalion was originally organized by Andriy Biletsky, ...

Yes, really.

As Zero Hedge highlighted, after months of downplaying or outright denying Azov’s direct links to neo-nazism, the media heralded the fact that the unit had dropped a “neo-Nazi symbol exploited by Russian propagandists.”

“Ah yes… when these fighters proudly display Nazi symbols, the real problem is Russian officials and media pointing it out: all very inconvenient of course,” ...

Washington Post finally admits what role the “far-right” Azov Battalion is playing in Ukraine

May 04, 2022 -

Now that Trump is out of office, the Post, like the others, continues to serve as a propaganda outlet for the deep state, but occasionally, in order to keep up the appearance of being a legitimate news source, the paper is forced to publish accurate information.

Former Pentagon official says U.S. arming of Ukrainian neo-Nazi Azov Brigade a sign of desperation

June 16, 2024 -

Earlier this week, the State Department put an end to the ban Congress had first put in place in 2018 on delivering arms to the Azov Brigade. The U.S. originally wanted to distance itself from the group, which is tied to neo-Nazism and has a history of human rights abuses.

However, they now claim that a new review showed there was “no evidence” that supporting the unit violated the Leahy Laws, which prohibit the U.S. from providing aid to foreign security forces ...

The “n-word” can be seen written on his gun, and he was wearing tactical gear as he live-streamed his slaughter.  He was taken in to custody last night.

June 14, 2024 -

Previously, the sending of arms to the Azov Brigade was off limits because of the group's hateful ideologies, but the State Department under President Biden has decided that U.S. taxpayers should fund the arming of these rebels.

Mainstream media now covering for Nazi-affiliated Ukrainian military unit they once condemned

May 17, 2022 -

It became very apparent in the days after the invasion began that the overarching narrative from the U.S.-led West was going to be "Russia bad, Ukraine good" -- despite the fact that Ukraine has long been known to be one of the most corrupt countries in Europe. And after all, the Ukrainians essentially bought off Joe Biden when a state-aligned energy giant hired him to become a 'board member' for tens of thousands of dollars per month.

As such, all negative news about Ukraine ...

March 13, 2022 -

Those are the only two possibilities after PBS broadcast an interview over the weekend with a Ukrainian mayor who has ties to neo-Nazis.
