How Azov instigates violence against its critics? My story In September 2023, the 3rd Assault Brigade (Azov movement) opened an exhibition in the Museum of Kyiv where its fighters were compared to Waffen SS Division Galicia members. I made a small critical post about that on my Facebook page. The main idea of it was: the glorification of Nazi collaborators was harmful to Ukrainian democracy and fed Kremlin propaganda. 🔷Reaction from the 3rd Assault Brigade. A couple of fighters said that I have no right to "open my d*rt* mouth" and talk about the active military duty members who "defend me." Maksym Zhorin, deputy commander of the Brigade, used my private photo to attack me on his Telegram channel. He wrote to his more than 100.000 followers: "Every "expert" who starts to look for Nazism in Ukrainian military history and culture, as a rule, has an LGBT or Russian pidarsku (homophobic slur) orientation. Or both". Oleksiy Reins (Konsul), the ideologist in the Azov movement, criticized me in Ukrainian media and on his private Telegram, claiming that members of Waffen SS Division Galicia are "heroes." 🔷Reaction from far-right affiliated with/sympathizes with Azov: - Challenge my expertise: publications, posts, and YouTube programs exposing that I am "a Kremlin agent," on "Putin's payroll," a "Russian propagandist" who doesn't know "basic facts" that Divison "never committed any crimes." - Antisemitism: creating caricatures where I was portrayed with stereotypical J*wi*h features, questioning my loyalty to the Ukrainian state ("as J*** always do to Ukrainian national cause"); arguing me to go to Israel and give up Ukrainian citizenship. - Death threats and rape threats to me and my pre-teen son. - Attacks on my Facebook page that was deleted as a result of it. 🔷Reaction in Ukrainian academia: my colleague, a professor at one of the prestigious Universities, said that if I return to Lviv, he will not be surprised if someone 'h*t* her in the face". Another professor of Lviv Polytechnic U., Iryna Farion, who became a victim of lethal political violence, strongly recommended the public to "memorize the name of this g*rb*ge [my name]." Ivan Franko Lviv National University students denounced me to the Ministry of Education and Science, demanding "actions" against me and my "anti-state rhetoric." When all this developed, I was in the US. I can't imagine what would happen to me if I was in Ukraine.

“Why are you kicking him?!” women in Dnipro shout as they film draft officers forcibly pulling a man out of his car, beating him, and shoving him into their van.

Usyk is trying to sell the idea that Ukrainian has become part of his identity. Yeah, right. Just listen to the language he speaks with his coach and team between rounds during the Verhoeven fight — and the language they speak back to him. It was Russian😅 This language circus in Ukraine seems endless.

Do you agree with this statement?🙄

What is the point of negotiating with neo-Nazis with 🇺🇦 passports?🤦 Does Yashin's new party desperately need the blessing of Ukraine's HUR and SBU, which seem intent on discrediting every Russian opposition force?

In Dnipro, draft officers pursued a man into the entrance of his apartment block, kicked him, forcibly dragged him outside, and shoved him toward their van. Scenes like this have become a hallmark of Ukraine’s mobilization campaign, where men are tracked down, grabbed off the streets, and packed off to the front.

This is how men in Ukraine are being kidnapped and forced to the front lines. This terror is being financed by the EU. Ternopil

What do you think about this move? "Slava Ukraini" folks, we can more or less imagine what you're thinking. Easy now — there might be children around🤫

Zelensky cannot back down on the issue of "UPA Heroes" and the elite military unit. Ever since the open death threats directed at him by Azov and Right Sector figures in 2019, he has become politically dependent on Ukraine's militant far right and extremists of every stripe. A bargain was struck: they receive military and political influence, while he receives protection for his position and political survival. So go ahead and remove the White Eagle. And prepare for the next stage of Banderization in Ukraine. What was once a marginal regional cult confined largely to Western Ukraine has now been elevated into official national policy 💁‍♀️

This is how draft officers in Ukraine pull men out of their cars and force them into their vans. From now on, this man is learning firsthand what "male privilege" really means.

Will Germany be able to find enough men ready to die on the Eastern Front once again? More importantly, what exactly are they supposed to die for? This growing war fever in Germany looks alarmingly familiar. Twice before, German militarism plunged the world into catastrophe. Germans, it's time to put a leash on your politicians and generals before they lead Europe—and the world—into yet another disaster.

Show this to Merz and the other alarmists who have seized the moment to launch a new arms race and shower weapons manufacturers with billions. The same politicians who eroding living standards, slashing public spending, and demanding ever more money for rearmament — all while invoking largely hypothetical threats to justify it. ------ “I’ve watched the intelligence very closely,” the Supreme Allied Commander Europe (Saceur) said on a panel at the ILA Berlin Air Show. “Russia is not looking for a conflict . . . They do understand the term ‘defensive alliance’, and they do understand that we have a number of asymmetric advantages.”

“My child was killed [in the front]!” shouts one of the women defending a man in Kryvyi Rih whom draft officers are trying to force into military service. A grandma carrying a shopping bag joins her. Then a man with a shovel steps in. No politicians. No activists. Just ordinary people who happened to be nearby and decided they could not stand by and watch. This is what popular resistance to "busification" looks like.

⚠️The Ukrainian Ombudsman paid a visit to the Ternopil draft office, where the unfortunates scooped up off the streets are being held. Let's take a look at the impressive fighting force he found there. - A man with severe asthma, carrying a whole bag of medication. - A man diagnosed with an intellectual disability. - A 59-year-and-3-month-old grandpa, bent nearly double, - a man, who had already been removed from military records but was detained anyway. - A man with a metal rod in his leg, walking with the help of a cane. Truly, a fearsome strike force. Russia must be trembling.

Yevhen Chepelianskyi, commander of the Konovalets UVO Company, couldn't resist describing today's Ukrainian soldiers as the heirs of the Waffen-SS Galicia Division, invoking a supposed "continuity of generations." This is not merely a violation of the spirit of Ukraine's 2015 memory laws. It is a gift-wrapped present for Kremlin propaganda. But apparently that's all supposed to be fine because the country's Supreme Commander-in-Chief is Jewish. Right?
