Leader
Of Ukraine's Neo-Nazis Appointed As Advisor To Army
5
April, 2015
With Greece on the
verge of either getting kicked out of Europe or suffer through yet
another government overhaul, one which many suggest may usher the
"last" option for Greece, the ultra nationalist, neo-Nazi
Golden Dawn party into governance, some wonder if it is not Europe's
ulterior intention to force a populist shift toward right wing,
nationalist parties (perhaps best observed in France where Marine
le Pen's dramatic rise to power has left many dazed and confused)
one which will lead to social instability and shortly thereafter, war
(because in a world in which every Keynesian voodoo trick to revive
the economy has failed, war is the last remaining outcome).
So while we await to
see if Europe's turn to ultra right wing movements accelerates in the
coming months, we just learned of a very disturbing development in
just as insolvent Ukraine, where moments ago the website of the local
Ministry of Defense reported that Dmytro Yarosh, i.e., the person
show below...
... leader of
Ukraine's "Right Sector" political party, whose adherents
are shown in the photos below...
... and whose
political ideology has been
described as
nationalist, ultranationalist, neofascist, right-wing, or far right,
was
just appointed as Advisor to Chief of General Staff.
From the Ukraine
ministry
of defense:
Dmytro
Yarosh appointed as Advisor to Chief of General Staff
Dmytro
Yarosh, leader of ‘Pravyi Sector’ (Right Sector) political party,
appointed as Advisor to Chief of General Staff. Yesterday, Colonel
General Viktor Muzhenko, Chief of General Staff, and Dmytro Yarosh
agreed the format of cooperation between ‘Pravyi Sector’ and the
Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Colonel
General Viktor Muzhenko stressed the Ukrainian army had become one of
the strongest armies of Europe;
the Ukrainian soldiers proved they knew how to fight and appreciated
the contribution of volunteer battalions to defense of Ukraine and
said: “We understand the needs of changes and increase of
efficiency at all the army levels. We also consider various models of
formation of the army reserve. We are developing the reforms and will
implement them. We
gathered all the patriots and defenders of Ukraine under single
leadership. The enemy understands our unity and that its attempts end
in failure. We have one goal and the united Ukraine. The Army becomes
stronger each week”.
Dmytro Yarosh
underlined the unity was the key precondition for further successful
fighting and demonstrated the readiness to establish the cooperation
and integration of volunteer battalions to the Ukrainian Armed
Forces.
‘Pravyi
Sector’ is ready to be subordinated to military leaders in issues
related to defense of state from the external enemy.
In other words, the
leader of Ukraine's Neo-Nazis will, as a local "patriot and
defender of Ukraine" be advising, i.e., fighting for, what
little remains of Ukraine's army.
Sadly the parallels
with Europe of the 1920s and 1930s, not to mention the decade just
following, grow more visible with every passing day.
Leader
of the Czech Republc, Miloš Zeman, says he won’t let any
ambassador of another nation intrude with advice over his foreign
visits. This comes as the US Ambassador criticized Zeman’s plans to
go to Moscow’s celebration of the WWII parade.
“I’m
afraid, after this statement the doors of the Prague Castle are
closed for Ambassador Schapiro,” Zeman told Parlamentni Listy
webportal on Saturday. Prague Castle is the president’s official
residence and office.

Overview
Taking
advantage of a relative calm on the Donbass front, Praviy Sektor and
the entire neobanderist and Ukrainian neonazi movement are raising
the pressure on the Poroshenko regime. In “pro-european” Ukraine,
freedom of information does not exist and freedom of thought is
limited to whatever is congruent. Kievan potentate Poroshenko
maintains that he wants to counter Russian propaganda, and so forbids
every form of media that contests the policies in force since Maidan
coup, more than a year ago. One must hide the framework of the
pro-Western putschists; one must lie to the people and to the
opinions of the members of the EU. But, as they say, facts are
stubborn things. While waiting on the reprise of combat on a large
scale, the war of information is on full swing and the internal
struggles at the core of Kievan power continue, and there’s no
guarantee that the field of the master of Kiev is immune.
From
the field
Most
attacks of the Kiev forces reported in the last 48 hours have been
set upon republican positions at and near the Donetsk airport, near
Gorlovka, and on Shirokino. There have been periodic skirmishes at
the edge of Krymskoe, northwest of Lugansk, and towards Stanitsa
Luganskaya, also mortar fire from the lines held by Kiev. The
situation on the “Bahmutka Track” “has gotten serious the last
24 hours, after several new provocations from the Ukrainian side
resulting in one ruined tank, two armored cars destroyed, and 15
soldiers killed or wounded on the Ukrainian side; on the FAN side,
they report just four wounded. This morning still, near Krymskoe, a
confrontation took place, accompanied by salvoes of artillery.
To
the northwest of Gorlovka, the town of Maiorsk is still controlled by
the army of Novorossiya, but movement of Ukrainian T64BV tanks have
been reported ever since March 31; apparently the Ukrainian forces
are repositioning their heavy equipment intending an attack.
After
a relative calm of several days, several large caliber salvoes came
in around 20h10 in the Petrovsky quarter, an engagement took place.
The
most worrisome sector still remains the town of Shirokino, to the
east of Mariupol, where the elements of the neonazi unit Azov hold
entrenched positions some 200 m to the west of the tiny coastal
settlement. This morning, a bit after 6h00, local time, a skirmish
involving 82 mm mortars, RPG, and small arms fire, later, 120mm
mortars on the Ukrainian positions on the Shirokino periphery, to the
southwest.
The
recalcitrant Paras
The
dealings between the kievan power and the extremist paramilitaries of
Praviy Sektor, aimed at getting them recognized as a “shock brigade
are dragging on: the “Führer” of the right sector, Dmitry
Yarosh, has no taste for it, and he has been putting on more pressure
in recent days.
As
the Kiev government seeks anyway to integrate the battalions of
Praviy Sektor, and neobanderists into the official forces of the
country, the Ukrainian operations command has given them until March
27: Units not incorporated in the National Guard (essential the DUK
companies and the OUN Battalion) are to leave the front lines.
However, neither DUK nor OUN has budged. Spokesman for Praviy Sektor,
Artyom Skoropadsky, affirms that they have no intention of obeying
the order from Kiev. “They’re removing our right to the war”
(sic), declared Artyom Lutsak, the head of DUK company 8.
“Neutralizing forces on your own side — that’s treason.”
As
promised by the Kiev presidency, Skoropadsky has insisted on the fact
that Praviy Sektor does not have to be dissolved among the main
forces of Kiev, but must get rid of its own independent structure as
the “shock troops.”
“They’re
not going to take any measures against us. What could they do? The
army can’t fight against Right Sector, that would be absurd. Right
Sector has enormous power” ! — a “power" doubtless
guaranteed by very special “advisers” from overseas. It’s in
this sense that the “Führer” of Praviy Sektor, Dmitro Yarosh,
says that he is ready to obey the military control of Ukraine, and
not otherwise.
For
all that, it would seem that the Ukrainian command has no need of
supplementary paramilitary units, especially of a brigade of
irregulars that would benefit from the resources of the regular army.
Oleg Sushinsky, spokesman for “Sector M” (Mariupol, regular army)
figured, on March 26, that “there are already
plenty of government battalions serving at Mariupol” and that the
paramilitaries of Right Sector are not needed. “They want to fight,
But they can’t do it their way. On the one hand, there are
civilians; on the other, there are soldiers. If they consider
themselves professionals, let them join up officially.”
Praviy
Sektor claims to have 15 battalions of reserves deployed throughout
Ukraine, according to the rantings of Yarosh. In fact, though, the
“battalions” in question are but slim companies, that is,
demi-companies, in addition to the OUN battalion, which doesn’t
amount to more than 120 paramilitaries — not even a company
according to the norms of NATO.
To
this, one must add hundreds of Right Sector activists already
integrated in the recognized formations of the National Guard and in
the Army. Summing up, grand maximum, there would be less than 3,000
paras loosely or closely affiliated with Right Sector, and not the
10,000 trumpeted by Yarosh and his minions.
If
the forces of Kiev cannot master Yarosh and his thugs, then how would
they be able to get the better of the rebels of the Donbass?
