Ukrainian nationalists have hurled smoke canisters and stones at riot police during clashes outside the parliament in Kiev. Violence erupted when the protesters demanded that MPs pass a law to recognise a World War Two nationalist group which opposed Soviet forces. Fifteen policemen were injured and at least 50 protesters had been arrested, the Ukrainian interior ministry said.

These days “Ukrainian nationalist” means anyone opposed to Ukraine being raped by Russia.

“Far Right” as opposed to moderate Ukrainians who wish to meet the Russians half-way and negotiate?

The "far right" organizations claim its not their people, and the "protestors" on the scene causing the trouble, apparently, openly admit to the reporters there that they were paid to participate:

"As we've been reporting below, earlier there were protests which turned violent outside of the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine's parliament. Ultra-nationalists in the crowd appeared to be demanding that the Rada recognize a controversial group, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), as "heroes of Ukraine." However, journalists like Christopher Miller and photographer Stefan Huijboom say that some in the crowds have admitted that they were paid to be there and do not belong to a political party, despite waving Praviy Sektor (Right Sector) and Svoboda flags. At the same time, Right Sector earlier denied that they were behind the protests, though they called for their own rally later in the day."

My source is a live thread, so you would need to scroll down to the bottom where this news was reported.

Be careful when reading anything that the BBC says about the “far right”.To the BBC Sarah Palin is “far right”.

Please note how BBC call UPA Nazi war criminals "a World War Two nationalist group which opposed Soviet forces.".

In short period of time UPA murdered up to 100 000 Poles and 30,000 Ukrainians.

“Far Right” out there means acting like Putin. I don’t think not wanting your leader to be a Russian puppet makes you extreme. Just my thought.

Paid Russian provocateurs.

Is this a sign Putin is about to invade more of Ukraine or is attempting to reinstall a crony govt again in Ukraine? Probably both.

Who is Putin going to claim he is rescuing now, communist milkmaids who are being oppressed by Nazis grandmothers?

[a fool in paradise]

BBC (in the article) is claiming that these “far right” groups are allied with Nazis (old and new).
