Like most Western political analysts and commentators, I was unaware of the existence of Ukrainian neo-Nazis until 2014. When the president-elect was overthrown, I was living in Syria at the time and thought they were violent groupings that had burst onto the public scene to assist pro-European elements. However, since the Russian military intervention, I have gradually discovered a lot of documents and information on this political movement which, in 2021, represented one third of the Ukrainian armed forces. This article presents a synthesis of it.
At the very beginning of this story, that is to say before the First World War, Ukraine was a large plain which had always been tossed between German and Russian influences. At the time, it was not an independent state, but a province of the tsarist empire. It was populated by Germans, Bulgarians, Greeks, Poles, Rumanians, Russians, Czechs, Tatars and a very large Jewish minority supposedly descended from the ancient Khazar people.












Comment: Tweeter Arnaud Bertrand posted the footage, along with insight into the exchange:
Notably, when Germany's Scholz recently visited China: 'Xi stressed [to Scholz] that political trust is easy to destroy but difficult to rebuild'.
And no, this is not the Chinese leader reprimanding the Canadian PM because he's talking down to someone 'on the same team', ideologically-speaking. Xi is reprimanding Trudeau because Trudeau is a despicable creature.
