Facebook condemned for hosting neo-Nazi network with UK links

"According to the London-based Centre for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), sales of the products fund two neo-Nazi extremist movements operating from Ukraine: Azov Battalion and Misanthropic Division. A number of UK far-right activists are believed to have been recruited by Azov Battalion to fight in the conflict in Ukraine."

UK Denies It Agreed to Train Neo-Nazi Linked Ukraine Unit

Ukraine’s National Guard says that last year the U.K. military agreed to start training its forces, which include a thousand-strong neo-Nazi unit..

"Details and photos of the meeting in the capital, Kiev, were posted in Ukrainian on the website of Ukraine’s National Guard (NGU) last year.
Declassified understands the U.K. Ministry of Defence (MoD) believed the September 2021 meeting to be private and should not have been publicized. There is no mention of the meeting in any U.K. records that are publicly available.
Three British commanders of Operation Orbital — the U.K. military’s training mission in Ukraine — are pictured, alongside three NGU officers. They sit around a table taking notes.
The MoD refused to give Declassified the names of the U.K. personnel who attended the meeting, citing operational and personnel security issues.
However, the NGU report names Lt Col Andy Cox, deputy commander of Orbital, while two other British officers are pictured, one with his name tag prominently displayed.
Orbital, which was launched in 2015, has so far only trained Ukraine’s regular armed forces. Expanding it to include the National Guard would be controversial due to sensitivities around the far-right sympathies of some of its units.
The NGU was formed in 2014 to incorporate an array of paramilitary and volunteer battalions which were fighting pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine. This included a neo-Nazi unit, the Azov Battalion, which reportedly has a thousand soldiers.
Now an official regiment within the NGU — and therefore part of Ukraine’s Ministry of Internal Affairs – Azov fighters have been pictured in eastern Ukraine with Nazi insignia such as swastikas and SS runes on their helmets.
The battalion’s founder has said that Ukraine should “lead the white races of the world in a final crusade…against Semite-led Untermenschen [subhumans].
Other NATO militaries are cooperating with the NGU. Close to 2,000 NGU fighters have been trained by the Canadian military as part of its Operation Unifier mission which began in 2015.
But it has proven controversial. In June 2018, Canadian military officers were briefed by leaders from the Azov Regiment and were photographed with its officials despite warnings about the unit’s Nazi ideology.
Azov then posted the photos on social media, adding that the Canadian delegation had expressed “hopes for further fruitful cooperation.” Internal Canadian documents, later released, show the government feared the meeting being exposed in the media.”

"U.S. to Aid Ukraine in Countering Bioweapons - The Washington Post"

By Jo Warrick

August 30, 2005

"The United States and Ukraine agreed yesterday to work jointly to prevent the spread of biological weapons, signing a pact that clears the way for Ukraine's government to receive U.S. aid to improve security at facilities where dangerous microbes are kept.

The agreement, the result of more than a year of negotiations, was announced by Sens. Richard G. Lugar (R-Ind.) and Barack Obama (D-Ill.) during a visit to the Ukrainian capital, Kiev. The senators credited Ukraine's reformist leaders, ushered into power by last fall's Orange Revolution, with breaking bureaucratic resistance to the pact.

One lab to receive funding is the I.I. Mechnikov Antiplague Scientific and Research Institute, in the Black Sea port city of Odessa."

JOIN THE PEACE EFFORT, 🕊☮
RESIST THE "WAR EFFORT"

Some people in Ukraine/Donbass lost everything twice. Some were internally displaced by the war in 2014-15-16 etc. to a new town or city only to be displaced again in 2022 when the war caught up with them again. Some people would have lost two homes in 8 years.

Many people's homes are rubble now. They are homeless and in temporary accommodation. The sources of income of many people are no longer there.

Some people are waiting for the war to end in Poland, some in Russia, some in Western Ukraine, and some are still in the middle of it. The men are not allowed to leave. This means many of the women who leave will have to leave their husbands, brothers and fathers behind.

War is a catastrophe and a tragedy all in one. Sending weapons to prolong it is cynical and is a direct participation in it. The facilitating of the hosting of refugees is certainly a dream come true given the tragic circumstances to many who have no home to go back to, but it really needs to be matched by the immediate halt to any transfer of weapons, which will only create more refugees and delay any peace agreement negotiation.

Join the peace effort, resist the "war effort". Say no to the weapons trade.

When vaccine mandates were passed in Congress, unreported by main media, some senators opposed them resolutely.
It’s good to read & note their names.

Thinly disguised NATO stunt:

"He also said permanent Nato bases should be created in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania."

Cameron should consider driving to the Mediterranean and getting a boat to Libya to give aid to the people of the country he destroyed.

Excerpt:

"Sanctions are not a game.

The world is currently facing the worst hunger crisis in generations. You knew that, right? Half of the population in Afghanistan is starving (due to wanton Western imperialism). South Sudan likewise. The Congo alone has more than 20 million people on the brink of famine (coltan needed for our electronic toys, diamonds, war). And Yemen? It’s not looking good."
