Everyone knows the fundamentally Nazi nature of Ukraine’s political society and its armed forces. I have covered it on this website and for several years the western media (who now deny it) have been reporting it with extensive evidence – see the display of western press reports before the start of the war at the end of this post.
Britain, the USA and Germany are now sending tanks to Ukraine’s Armed Forces commanded by Valeriy Zaluzhny who wears a wrist band with a swastika:
Nazi and SS symbols abound in the Ukrainian forces trained and armed by the British Government.
Equally disgraceful and common is the wearing of the “Black Sun” logo – which forms the centrepiece of the ceremonial hall at the Nazis’ quasi religious site at Wewelsburg designed by Himmler as the spiritual home of the SS. (In 1996 it was turned into a Museum depicting the history of the SS)
This is not the first time of course that the West has armed Nazis. In the illegal war against Serbia in the 1990s Nazi insignia and the names of second world war Waffen SS divisions were used again in Bosnia, Kosovo and Croatia. (see my book And into the Fire: Fascist Elements in post war Europe and the development of the European Union)

The Baltic States are equally devoted to Nazism today. SS parades in Riga, Latvia have been condemned for a long time by European politicians at the international level but there can be no doubt about torchlight marches on the Independence Day of Latvia (18th November) accompanied by the SS anthem “SS marschiert in Feindesland” (translation “SS marching on enemy land”). And all this is broadcast on state TV channels.
The Latvian Legion – the war time Latvian SS – is commemorated:
Parades in Ukraine celebrate the founding of the Ukrainian “Galician” division of the SS, monuments to the Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera are common, as are marches on his birthday. Streets are named after him. At the annual torchlight march on Bandera’s birthday in 2017 commemorations marchers chanted “Jews Out!”. There are monuments to Roman Shukhevych (1907–1950), another Nazi collaborator who commanded the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), responsible for butchering thousands of Jews and 70,000-100,000 Poles. There is a public statue of Yaroslav Stetsko (1912–1986), who led Ukraine’s 1941 Nazi-collaborationist government which welcomed the Germans and declared allegiance to Hitler. Stetsko had written “I insist on the extermination of the Jews and the need to adapt German methods of exterminating Jews in Ukraine.” for more see:

Zelensky, while celebrating the end of WW2, posted a picture on his social-media account with a Ukrainian soldier wearing the symbol of the SS-Totenkopf-division and when the Russians captured Mairupol the Azov bases contained a copy of Hitler’s Mein Kampf.
When the Russians captured Izyum the Ukrainian 81st Brigade had left behind mementoes: pictures of their War time Nazi heroes! (Izyum was recaptured by Ukrainian forces in September 2022.)
When the Defence Minister James Heappey was asked if the Nazi Azov troops had access to British supplied weapons he admitted they had:
“Weapons are being issued to the Ukrainian Armed Forces……..which also includes the Azov battalion”
Of course this pales into insignificance now that British Challenger tanks are due to be sent to Ukraine (along with countless British troops as “instructors”)
Despite the surrender of the Azov regiment at the Azovstal Iron and Steel Works in Mariupol, the Ukrainian command announced that new Azov special operations forces would be created in Kharkov and Kiev. At the same time, a partial rebranding was carried out. A medieval heraldic symbol – a trident (the coat of arms of Ukraine) consisting of three swords – is now depicted on the chevron of the ‘new’ Azov in place of the stylized NAZI Wolfsangel (‘wolf’s hook’) The symbolism has been slightly altered but the politics stay the same.
The writer Eric Suesse points out the close connection between civil and military Nazism in Ukraine:
But what the schools don’t teach is made up for by Ukrainian neo-Nazi organizations that are active all over the country. The most common are the Azovets military camps organised by the Azov Battalion, where children from the age of 7 are taught to engage in war and sabotage. The entire training system is littered with Nazi symbols and slogans.
UKRAINE’S INSTITUTIONALISED RACISM
The racial hatred of the Nazis was not just directed against Jews but against gypsies and Slavs whom they described as “subhumans”. While today Ukraine is led by a Jew his Nazi troops are of course violently anti semitic and much of his support are extreme in their anti Russian racism:
(This is a video of some well-attended “educational” event, likely in fascist-oriented far western Ukraine, possibly some years old. Those inside the cage are supposed to be “Russian.” The sign on the cage says, “Don’t feed the animals.” Near the start of the video, you can see some Nazi-style “instructional artwork”, showing how to identify Russians by their ape-like, subhumanoid features.)

THE WEST COVERS UP THE NAZISM
It is extraordinary how far the West will go to cover up, deny and ridicule the exposure of open Nazism in civil and military forms in Ukraine – although they have been adept at doing so for decades in the former Yugoslavia. In Germany (where it is incidentally illegal to publish Hitler’s Mein Kampf and Nazi symbols) censorship of the exposure of Ukrainian Nazism is rife:
IMPENDING DEFEAT
The American think tank RAND,which is close to the Department of Defense, has produced a new study which asserts a long war in Ukraine has negative consequences for the United States.
“The authors argue that, in addition to minimizing the risks of major escalation, U.S. interests would be best served by avoiding a protracted conflict. The costs and risks of a long war in Ukraine are significant and outweigh the possible benefits of such a trajectory for the United States. Although Washington cannot by itself determine the war’s duration, it can take steps that make an eventual negotiated end to the conflict more likely.”
The report concludes by stating the United States should enact policies that push the war to a conclusion, including offering sanctions relief to Russia or even the threat of cutting financial and material aid to Ukraine! which would induce Kiev to seek terms with Russia, even if it includes territorial loss. Separately Secretary of State Blinken has just suggested that re-taking Crimea is not a feasible option.
Since the USA is providing the entire Ukrainian budget, providing the weapons and training troops and “advising” on war strategy there is no doubt that they and not the hysterical Zelensky regime’s bombast will decide ultimately when the war comes to an end.
UKRAINE’S MASSIVE LOSSES
But at the same time that the West is aware of the impending Russian defeat of the Zelensky regime, NATO/EU is seeking to escalate the war – believing that hardware like missiles and tanks can turn the war when the men to use those weapons have been slaughtered.
Ukrainian losses are estimated by experienced war analysts at some 120,000 dead and 35,000 missing presumed dead. It is even rumoured that Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny informed the Pentagon that 232,000 have been killed. Kiev troops are going door to door dragging off men of up to the age of 60 to fight. They are conscripts (not reservists like the 300,000 Russians recently called up) and will be little short of cannon fodder.
No wonder Ukrainian troops on the front line have BEEN FILMED SAYING that the Kiev government better wish the Russians get them before their own troops exact their revenge.
By refusing to negotiate a peace and indeed refusing repeatedly even to give ground in undefendable positions to save lives (as in Soledar, Mariupol and Bakhmut), Kiev is guilty of genocide against its own people. That the West is encouraging this murderous irresponsibility by supplying ever more arms, money and training is cruel beyond words.
