There were 137 recorded incidents of confrontation and violence committed by ultraright groups in Ukraine over a one-year period from October 14, 2018, a monitoring report by a Ukrainian public advocacy organization stated.
Conducted by the Kyiv-based Institute Respublica and financed by the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation in Germany, the report on January 20 stated that
most acts of violence and confrontation during the one-year period were committed by two groups: C14 and National Corps.
Forty such cases were attributed to C14, of which 25 were "of a violent nature," including 10 violent incidents toward people.
Thirty episodes were attributed to National Corps,
the political wing of the far-right Azov movement, of which 21 were of a violent nature, including 15 toward people.
According to Oksana Dutchak, Institute Respublica's resident sociologist, the group documented 48 cases of a "confrontational nature" and 89 incidents of violence toward people or property.
The most incidents of violence and confrontation -- 23 -- were recorded in November 2018.
There were 14 incidents of violence committed against feminist or lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender activists; 13 against political party members; 12 against representatives of state or law enforcement institutions; four against journalists; four against business representatives; three against artists; and two against ethnic minorities or migrants.
"Ultraright violence continues to be
systematic, regular and, with very rare exceptions, committed with impunity," Maksym Butkevych, a human rights activist and coordinator of the Without Borders project, told RFE/RL. "Impunity encourages a continuance of violent practices; it 'beckons' those who resort to violence...to do it again."
Comment: Indeed. 'Global warming' - much like other Western issues; 'Russian-meddling', for another example - primarily concerns internal Western politics. Specifically, maintaining the current 'order of things' through the current global 'transition'. Neither the US stewards of empire nor the Davos set want to see Western countries 'straying' and strategically realigning with Russia/China/others. So the herd is corralled with myths about how they can 'save the planet' by remaining invested in supporting the status quo. The real value of these myths will become apparent as the climate becomes even more extreme and people look to their govts to 'fix' it (which they won't because they can't stop what's coming).
