Again and again, I am confronted with an absurd argument: “What neo-Nazis in Ukraine? Their president is Jewish!” So, let’s take a look at some of the developments within the Ukrainian army that have taken place during Zelenskyy’s presidency: ✅A Nachtigal Unit was formed, named after the German-backed Nachtigal Battalion, which took part in the attack on the Soviet Union in June 1941. ✅A Luftwaffe Unit emerged, using the Nazi Eagle as its insignia. ✅The Russian Volunteer Corps (RDK) was created. Its leader, Denis “White Rex” Kapustin (Nikitin), is a known neo-Nazi and white supremacist, banned across the Schengen Zone for extremist activities. Some of his fighters wear Nazi symbols and ROA patches. ✅A German Volunteer Corps appeared, which openly promotes Nazism and racism on its social media. ✅An informal unit called Format 18 (#18 is a code for 'Adolf Hitler') includes members from the so-called Tesak group — a neo-Nazi organization known for racially motivated murders in Russia. ✅Members of far-right military units were allowed to openly network with neo-Nazi groups from around the world to recruit them into the war. As part of this effort, the Nation Europa conference took place in Lviv in August 2023, attended, among others, by the German fascist group Der Dritte Weg. ✅The 3rd Assault Brigade organized an exhibition (Sept. 2023) at the Museum of Kyiv, displaying several photos of the Waffen-SS Division Galicia and comparing themselves to its soldiers. ✅Other military units openly celebrate the Waffen-SS Division Galicia, including Karpatska Sich, Vovky da Vinci, and Svoboda. ✅Symbols such as the Wolfsangel, Totenkopf, Dirlewanger, Nazi Eagle, and Black Sun have become popular patches in the army. No one has apologized for them. No one questions them. To be continued…
