A ritual performed by the Ukrainian Army is another sign of desperation.
When even Canadian media starts admitting that Russia was right all along, Nazis in Ukraine is not just Kremlin propaganda.
‘It’s true that Azov was brought into the National Guard of Ukraine, but they are fanatics.’ - Canadian media finally admits what we've known all along
"In the first weeks of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Canada’s directorate of NATO policy said that Ukraine’s notorious Azov Regiment continued to be far-right “fanatics” despite their integration into the country’s national guard, emails obtained by The Maple through an access to information request show"
In March 2022, the Department of National Defence (DND) was facing media questions over mounting allegations that the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) had trained far-right groups in Ukraine, including Azov, prior to Russia’s invasion.In an internal email quotes “information from the Directorate of NATO Policy”:
“It’s true that Azov was brought into the NGU [National Guard of Ukraine], but we don't train them because they are fanatics, and we don't share their values … It’s true that the Azov has dogged us as an issue for years, but we should definitely not hide from the fact that we train the NGU because of a small minority in their ranks.”
In April 2022, Radio Canada and CTV News reported on further evidence showing that the CAF had trained members of Ukraine’s military who were reported to be members of far-right groups, including Azov, as recently as 2020. However, when The Maple asked for clarification, the ministry responded in an unsigned email that it still regards Azov Regiment as a far-right extremist group.
“Our position remains that we are not – nor will we – be providing support to Azov and affiliated entities. We continue to vehemently oppose any and all racist, discriminatory and hateful views and any groups that promote them.”
