From your article:

“Interestingly, many of the men in the battalion are Russians from eastern Ukraine who wear masks because they fear their relatives in rebel-controlled areas could be persecuted if their identities are revealed.”

And has already been pointed out to you, a lot of the Russian volunteers that are coming across the border as “rebels” are tied to Nazi-linked Russian nationalist groups. So here we have Russian Nazis fighting Russian Nazis.

Anyway, to remind you what’s been pointed out to you time and time again: The two “Nazi” party candidates got less than 2% of the vote in the last election.

As I have often said, it is a CIVIL WAR, not an “Anti-terrorist Operation” as Kiev has tried to claim, and still does.

There are people from North and West Ukraine serving with the rebels, as well.

Of note is how the unrest around Karhkov, and near Hungary has grown in the last week.

I doubt that is complete. The biggest source of Nazism in Ukraine comes from nationalism spurred by anti-EU sentiment. Mostly we have nationalists on the Ukrainian side fighting nationalists on the Russian side. The Nazis on either side are probably much more an exception than a rule. But it would make more sense for Nazis in Ukraine to be against Kiev since Kiev is for EU integration.
