Ukraine war mega thread

[bsnub]

At least two neo-Nazi groups are fighting for Russian forces in Ukraine, throwing into question Moscow’s claims of “denazifying” its neighbor, German weekly Der Spiegel reported Sunday, citing a confidential intelligence report.

The document shared with German ministries by the BND intelligence service does not provide the exact number of far-right fighters, but identifies them as the Russian Imperial Legion and Rusich groups.

Their involvement “makes the ostensible reason for war, the so-called ‘denazification’ of Ukraine, absurd,” BND is quoted as saying.

Both groups are thought to have participated in the war between Moscow-backed, pro-Russian separatists and Kyiv that broke out in eastern Ukraine in 2014. Several reports have linked Rusich with Wagner, a shadowy, Kremlin-linked private military company.

Russia sent troops into Ukraine on Feb. 24 with the stated aim of “denazifying and demilitarizing” its pro-Western neighbor, before shifting its focus toward eastern Ukraine for the campaign's second phase in late March.

The Russian Imperial Legion is a paramilitary arm of the ultranationalist Russian Imperial Movement, which the United States designated as a terrorist organization in 2020.

“Whether this decision [to join the conflict in Ukraine] was made at the request of or in consultation with the Russian leadership” is unclear, the BND analysis writes.

The Russian Imperial Legion announced its decision to enter combat operations in Ukraine shortly after its leader Denis Gariyev called on supporters to “be patient” in early March, the report states. Rusich is believed to have become involved no later than early April.

The Russian Imperial Movement’s flag was seen in Ukraine by the Guardian in Mid-March Meanwhile,. Britain’s The Times located Rusich fighters crossing into eastern Ukraine’s Kharkiv region near the Russian border in early April.

Gariyev, his deputy and two other right-wing extremists are believed to have been wounded in the fighting, BND said in the report cited by Der Spiegel. Rusich founder Alexei Milchakov was wounded as soon as the group entered Ukraine.

Milchakov and Rusich co-founder Yan Petrovsky had met at a Russian Imperial Movement paramilitary training program, according to The Times. Both were pictured in the BND report cited by Der Spiegel with a swastika flag and a Hitler salute.

The BND identified another Rusich member, Alexander M., as a military correspondent at Russia’s Channel One state broadcaster, according to Der Spiegel.

Russian Neo-Nazis Participate in ‘Denazifying’ Ukraine – Der Spiegel - The Moscow Times

Among Russian President Vladimir Putin’s many fantastical pretexts for invading Ukraine, the urgent need for its “denazification” may be the most preposterous. Ukraine isn’t free of domestic extremists, but Putin’s claims are pure disinformation. In fact, the Russian strongman has been supporting neo-Nazis and white supremacists for years, including mercenaries and separatists who have waged war on Ukraine since 2014.

Putin isn’t fighting neo-Nazism. He nurtures it, making his gaslighting about Ukraine even more repellent.

Perhaps Moscow’s most notorious military proxy is the Wagner Group, mercenaries the Kremlin has used to wage deniable war and otherwise promote its interests in places like Syria, Libya and Mozambique. Recently the Wagner Group deployed to the Central African Republic, and it has shown up in Mali, where its brutal methods appear to be replacing previous efforts by the international community to fight terrorists active in the country.

The Wagner Group is named after the 19th century German composer Richard Wagner, whose music Adolf Hitler adored. The group’s leader, Dmitry Utkin, reportedly wears Nazi tattoos, including a swastika, a Nazi eagle and SS lightning bolts. Wagner mercenaries are reported to have left behind neo-Nazi propaganda in the war zones where they’ve fought, including graffiti with hate symbols.

The Wagner Group also has played a key role in Putin’s long war on Ukraine, with its fighters helping him illegally annex Crimea in 2014 and fighting alongside pro-Russia separatists in the country’s east since then.

They’ve been active in the current hostilities, as well. The Daily Beast reported Jan. 31 that dozens of Wagner mercenaries were pulled from the Central African Republic to join Russian forces massing at the Ukraine border. And The Times of London reported that as many as 400 Wagner mercenaries may have been sent to Kyiv to attempt to assassinate or capture Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Ukraine’s government has claimed that Zelenskyy has survived more than a dozen assassination attempts since the invasion began.

Then there’s the white supremacist group known as the Russian Imperial Movement, or RIM, which the State Department designated a terrorist organization in 2020 (an effort led by one of the authors here, Nathan Sales). With the Kremlin’s tacit approval, the group operates paramilitary camps near St. Petersburg in which neo-Nazis and white supremacists from across Europe are trained in terrorist tactics.

In 2016, RIM-trained terrorists conducted a series of bombings against a refugee shelter and other soft targets in Sweden, according to the State Department. Like the Wagner Group, RIM has deployed fighters to aid the Kremlin’s long-running war in eastern Ukraine. The group has supplied much-needed manpower, including people who are trained in asymmetric tactics and sabotage operations.

Russia uses neo-Nazi groups for much more than combat operations. Research by our organization — including a new report released Monday — shows that a key component of the Kremlin’s campaign to exploit fissures in the West is to use transnational white supremacists to promote racially and ethnically motivated violent extremism.

Myriad American neo-Nazi ideologues and operatives have traveled to Russia, as The New York Times reported in 2016, to attend networking conferences, illustrating the disturbing international links among this movement. Russia seems to welcome these figures with open arms. While the Kremlin has brutally suppressed civil society groups like those associated with pro-democracy activist Alexei Navalny, it has looked the other way on these white supremacists.

Russia is also serving as a refuge for extremists, with one of America’s most dangerous neo-Nazis finding sanctuary in the country. The BBC reported in 2020 that Rinaldo Nazzaro, the American leader of the white supremacist paramilitary group The Base, was living in Russia and directing the group from St. Petersburg. (Chatter on extremist online channels suggests Nazzaro may have stepped down from this role since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, perhaps at the behest of his hosts.)

The FBI describes The Base as a “racially motivated violent extremist group” that “seeks to accelerate the downfall of the United States government, incite a race war, and establish a white ethno-state.” According to the BBC, a video put online in March 2019 “shows Nazzaro in Russia wearing a t-shirt bearing an image of President Vladimir Putin along with the words ‘Russia, absolute power.’”

Collectively, Putin has condoned and enabled a transnational white supremacist network that stretches around the globe. It’s one more instrument in the toolbox Moscow uses to divide democracies and undermine democratic institutions. Russia-backed white supremacists trade ideas and resources, both online and offline, to empower like-minded partners around the world.

The U.S. and its allies must take decisive action to challenge these toxic ideas and counter the operatives who embrace them. As for Putin, he has picked a side in the fight against the Nazis’ modern-day successors, and it isn’t ours.

Around 300 young Russians recently took part in a camp training fighters in the Moscow region, with their instructors including two prominent neo-Nazis who until this summer were fighting on the side of the Kremlin-backed militants in Donbas. Alexei Milchakov is a St Petersburg neo-Nazi who moved from decapitating puppies and calling on fellow Neo-Nazis to kill down-and-outs back in Russia to torturing Ukrainian soldiers in Donbas as part of a formation called ‘Rusich’. The latter services appear to have made the Russian authorities waive criminal charges supposedly facing Milchakov in his native St. Petersburg. In March 2015 he and fellow neo-Nazi militant Jan Petrovsky (Veliki Slavian) were part of a militant ‘delegation’ to a forum in St. Petersburg of members of mainly European and Russian far-right and neo-Nazi parties. Now the two men are valued ‘instructors’ at a camp under the patronage of former ‘prime minister of the so-called ‘Donetsk people’s republic’, Alexander Borodai.

The last training camp for fighters from ‘Rusich’ and an organization called the E.N.O.T Corporation were on Sept 26-27 on territory adjoining a monastery in the Moscow region village of Avdotino. The head of the monastery is probably the priest in the video here who comes and blesses all 300 participants in the camp on learning how to kill, escape, etc. A new invitation has just appeared on the ENOT site for those wishing to take part, totally free of charge, on Nov 21-22.

ENOT claims to be a volunteer outfit, but it clearly enjoys generous funding and its mercenaries regularly take part in ‘business trips’ otherwise known as fighting against the Ukrainian military in Donbas. Denis Kazansky, a prominent Donetsk journalist now in exile, reports that ENOT fighters carried out a purge in Spring this year of a Cossack formation which was competing for power with the current leader of the so-called ‘Luhansk people’s republic’ [LNR’]. The organization’s address is in the very centre of Moscow, and its website openly displays its training sessions in Russia. It is unclear, Kazansky writes, how any of this complies with Russian legislation. Unfortunately, however, nobody seems to be asking that question.

The training course involved seminars and practice in sniper fire; using a pistol or machine gun; martial arts; field medicine, etc. Kids who look 13 or 14 at most are taught to shoot, move and take aim without being observed, to move injured comrades, etc. with their trainers men from ‘Rusich’ who “fought successfully in Donbas”.





Serious questions arise regarding such training courses for fighters, including who is providing the funding both for the courses and for the so-called ‘business trips’. In a skype interview, Milchakov made it quite clear that he, Petrovsky and their fighters all received money for his bloody services.

Even if one assumes that the young kids are simply enjoying an action-packed break, the choice of instructors is chilling.

Milchakov had already earned notoriety, as well as the threat of criminal charges in his native St Petersburg when he began fighting in Donbas in June 2014. Moskovsky Komsomolets called him a “well-known Russian maniac” who as a 20-year-old in 2012 had posted images of himself with a puppy whose head he cut off and ate. “After that Milchakov constantly posed with Nazi banners and called on people to kill down-and-outs and dogs”*.

Within months he had demonstrated the same propensities in Donbas, with Ukrainian soldiers his victims.

On Sept 5, the same day that the first Minsk Accord was signed, 2 groups from the Aidan volunteer battalion and other Ukrainian soldiers came under siege from the Rusich unit. Milchakov was among the militants who posted videos of themselves, for example, cutting off the ear of one of their victims. The videos have all been removed from YouTube due to their monstrous content, however copies will certainly have been retained and, like the photos here, will hopefully receive appropriate assessment from the International Criminal Court.

Russian pro-Kremlin media have been happy to interview both Milchakov and Petrovsky, though avoiding indiscreet questions about their neo-Nazi views, none of which the men see any need to conceal. In April both men gave a skype interview in which Milchakov shared his opinion that the “mightiest potential lies in Russians” and that Ukrainians’ fight for freedom runs counter to the interests of his people. Petrovsky, in turn, announced that they are “building a Russian national ‘Chechnya’ where everything will be only for the Russian people”.

And not without their highly specific ideology – the one that the Kremlin has tried to claim is espoused by the government in Kyiv. Milchakov explained that they both carry out “educational work” regarding their neo-Nazi views among the militants. If they don’t, nobody will, he says. As well as fighting, he added.

The same activities are probably included in their work as ‘instructors’ in the Moscow region.

The only question mark is perhaps over where the trained fighters are to spread the word. A brief report on the ENOT site, for example, makes it clear that Russian action in Syria should also be viewed as a “sacred war”.

That, however, is not a decision for neo-Nazi sadists who go where those with the money send them to kill and torture.

If he is liberating people from a cruel, bigoted and oppressive regime he is not a bully at all- he is a Liberator. The old Ukraine is finished, post-Maidan. If the people in the east and south wish to reunite with Russia, that is their right. Ukraine proper, with all of it's Aryanism and racial purity and bigotry and deRussification can stay that way too. Ukrainian.

1/ If he is liberating people from a cruel, bigoted and oppressive regime he is not a bully at all- he is a Liberator. That goes beyond a special kind of stupid comment. It is Putin who has created a "bigoted and oppressive regime" in Russia, a dictatorship. A dictator, Putin who jails/kills the opposition. Someone who oversees the organisation who threw a Company Chairman who disagreed with him out a hospital window.
Eight Oil Executives have been killed this past year.

2/ The old Ukraine is finished, post-Maidan. Nope

3/ If the people in the east and south wish to reunite with Russia, that is their right. Great, finally we can agree on something. If the people in the east and south wish to reunite with Russia, that is their right to fuck off to Russia and not stay in the Sovereign Nation of Ukraine. Oh, special mention, just for sabang ... Crimea is Ukraine, despite what Putin thinks.

4/ Ukraine proper, with all of it's Aryanism and racial purity and bigotry and deRussification can stay that way too.

Harebrained-



Early this morning (local time), a new or reconstituted unit of the Ukrainian special forces (likely UK-trained and organized, as the original Ukrainian special forces have almost all been killed off or hospitalized) attempted a river-borne landing to seize control of the Russian-held Zaporozhie Atomic Energy Station, the largest nuclear plant in Europe, just hours before the station was due to be visited by a senior delegation from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA.)

The landing was to involve at least two waves. Russia was aware of the plans and killed almost the entire first wave (also taking a few prisoners) on their beachhead, a few kilometers from the reactors, while sinking or otherwise killing the second wave on the water, and attacking by air a potential third wave at their point of origin. At least 200, possibly 300 of the most elite Ukrainian personnel were killed or otherwise knocked out of action within just a few hours.

It’s not clear how the Ukrainians intended to run the nuclear power station even if they did seize it, seeing as everyone who works there, commutes to and from their homes in nearby, Russian-held Energodar (which BTW took some damage from “imprecise” Ukrainian artillery that was trying to support the landing.) And you know, all it takes is one tired worker to push the wrong button, as at Chernobyl…..

In short, the scheme was totally harebrained and insane. It is likely the operation was planned with the help of the British (SAS or whatever)—the USA would not do anything this stupid (feel free to disagree, leave a comment.)

For those of you who were wondering why Russia never bombed the Ukrainian Armed Forces HQ or Ukraine Security Service HQ in Kiev, here’s your answer. You don’t bomb your own spies and informants.

For anyone who doesn’t believe this madness actually happened (because it’s not on CNN), God bless you, just wait and see, it’s embarrassing but it will start seeping out into the MSM soon enough, then you can come back and thank me, or at least acknowledge (quietly, to yourself) why you still read this blog…. AS USUAL. How’s your Ghost of Kiev and Bucha Rape Dungeon coming along?

The advancing military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, scattered across the Kherson steppes, were left without supplies



The Ukrainian command, after the failed counter-offensive in the Kherson and Nikolaev directions, is looking for options to get out of the situation that is extremely difficult for the Ukrainian troops in the south. The losses of the Ukrainian troops only by the “two hundred” exceeded 2000 people, and this was in just three days. At the same time, the remnants of the advancing Ukrainian forces were virtually without communication, scattered across the Kherson fields.



Several relatively large enemy groups fell into the so-called fire "bags". First of all, such a situation for the Ukrainian troops arose due to the extended “counterattack” line, when the forward detachments of the Armed Forces of Ukraine ended up in the area of ​​\uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbthe settlement of Dry Stavok on the left bank of the Ingulets River with exposed flanks. Only last night, scattered enemy forces totaling up to two companies were liquidated in two fire bags in the area of ​​Sukhoi Stavka and Kostromka. Some of them tried to get into the settlements under the cover of night in order to try to actively resist there, at the same time announcing "taking them under control." However, most of those who have tried have failed. They worked on them from multiple launch rocket systems.

Now, from the battlefields in the Kherson-Nikolaev direction, there are reports that the Ukrainian military, scattered in fact in the bare steppe, are trying to get in touch with their commanders to obtain data on which direction to move, where to expect supplies. It is the issue of supplying the Ukrainian troops that crossed to the left bank of the Ingulets – the part that survived – that is most acute for Ukrainian commanders today. The Ukrainian detachments launched a counterattack, but in the end, the opportunity was lost to carry out any sort of organized supplies for their further life, at least, not to mention the conduct of intense hostilities. The firebags that hit several Ukrainian armed groups at once do not add enthusiasm either to them or to the Kyiv regime in this regard. At the same time, the Kyiv regime continues to hide from the citizens the truth about what the adventure for the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kherson direction was reduced to.

I think Sabang has a serious alcohol problem. How else can you explain this garbage that he is posting here.


>When it comes to the negative consequences of abusive alcohol consumption, the focus is usually on the physical effects. Among other things, the liver and heart can suffer permanent damage, and the risk of cancer also increases enormously. On the other hand, the dangers that alcohol poses to the human brain and psyche are often neglected. Alcohol psychosis in particular is often underestimated. It occurs in around 10 percent of all alcoholics and is irreversible in the worst case.
A perceptual disorder triggered by the consumption of alcohol is a so-called substance-induced psychosis.<

Assassinations of Russia Installed Officials on the Rise In Occupied Ukraine


Alexei Kovalev was found Sunday shot to death in his home in the Russian-occupied Ukrainian town of Hola Prystan.


Nearby lay his girlfriend, reportedly badly injured with stab wounds to her neck, and a Mossberg pump-action shotgun.


Prior to Russia’s attack on Ukraine in February, Kovalev was a deputy in the Ukrainian parliament and a member of President Volodymyr Zelensky’s Servant of the People party — but, after much of Ukraine’s southern Kherson region was seized by Russian troops in the first weeks of the invasion, he switched sides.


Appointed the deputy head of the Moscow-installed administration in Kherson, Kovalev appeared to have been murdered for working with Russia.


The tempo of such killings in Russian occupied Ukraine has risen in recent weeks as the Kremlin looks to accelerate the political integration of occupied Ukraine into Russia and Kyiv pushes forward with an offensive to retake land around the strategic city of Kherson.


A tally by volunteer project WarTranslated that was corroborated by The Moscow Times shows nine such assassination attempts took place last month, up from three in July. In total, there have been at least 19 attempted assassination in Russian-controlled areas of Ukraine since the invasion.


While many assume these are political killings ordered by Kyiv to deter collaborators and undermine Moscow’s political integration plans, experts said that some could have been part of local power struggles or business disputes.

Despite regular Russian media reports about Kremlin plans for referendums on joining Russia in occupied Ukraine, no concrete timetable for such votes has yet been put in place.


“I think Moscow has not yet made a final decision on the referendums — it will depend on the situation on the ground and how well Russia controls the territories. Kyiv understands this very well,” political analyst Ivan Preobrazhensky told The Moscow Times.


As well as a politician, Kovalev was also closely involved in the agricultural business for which southern Ukraine is famous, reportedly playing a key role in arranging shipments of Ukrainian grain to Russia after the invasion.


Kovalev met top Kremlin official Sergei Kiriyenko, who oversees occupied Ukrainian territory, in June, after which he posted on Facebook: “Russia is here seriously and forever!” Two weeks later, he survived a car bombing.


Perhaps the most exotic assassination attempt so far, took place in early August when the Moscow-appointed head of Kherson region Vladimir Saldo — Kovalev’s boss — was apparently poisoned.


Saldo, 66, a former Kherson mayor and local businessman, was transferred to a Moscow hospital after reportedly eating a meal prepared by a new cook and Russia’s Defense Ministry said he may have ingested a nerve agent.


Despite reports Saldo’s health had “significantly” improved, he has not been seen in public since.

The day after Saldo’s alleged poisoning another pro-Kremlin official in the Kherson region,Vitaly Gurа, was shot dead outside his home.


And, as Ukraine stepped up preparations for an offensive near Kherson last week, the Moscow-appointed deputy head of domestic policy for Kherson region, Igor Telegin, survived when what is reported to have been a remote-controlled explosive was detonated by the side of the road.


While most attacks — 10 of the 19 tallied by WarTranslated — seem to have taken place in the Kherson region other regions of occupied Ukraine have also witnessed a spate of killings.


In occupied Zaporizhzhia region last week, traffic police officer Alexander Kolesnikov died after being injured in an explosion in the city of Berdyansk and Ivan Sushko, the Russian-appointed head of the town of Mykhailivka was killed in a car bombing.


Oleg Shostak, apparently affiliated with Russia’s ruling party United Russia, was severely injured in an attack in Melitopol earlier this month.


Yevgeny Yunakov, the Russian-appointed head of a small town in the Kharkiv region in northeast Ukraine, was killed by a car bomb last month.


While the local Russian-installed authorities have blamed Ukraine for most of these assassinations, Kyiv has neither confirmed nor denied its involvement.


The exiled mayor of Melitopol Ivan Fedorov said earlier this month that Ukrainians working with Moscow “will be held accountable” and that “the hunt for collaborators preparing for the pseudo-referendum has begun.”

Ukrainian investigators have said that some 1,150 people across the country are currently being investigated for treason or collaboration with Russia.


The attacks “are a warning to people who are collaborating with Russia,” said Konstantin Skorkin, an expert on the politics of eastern Ukraine at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.


One result of the killings is that Russia is likely to face staff shortages for political and administrative roles in the occupied regions, according to experts.


And there is evidence some officials have already left for safer areas.


Kirill Stremousov, the deputy head of the Russian-installed Kherson administration once accused of attacking a local newspaper office with tear gas, was seen Tuesday in a video filmed in the Russian city of Voronezh.


Contacted by journalists, Stremousov confirmed that he had left Kherson, but said that his work meant he was “constantly traveling.”


While many believe Ukrainian partisans have been behind the killings, other analysts have pointed out that some could be part of local power battles or business diagreements.

“Ukraine’s south is a rich area. Local ports, active trade and smuggling usually cause a high crime level. Some are also fighting over money and power,” Skorkin told the Moscow Times.


“We have to take into account various pre-war showdowns between Ukrainian businessmen and officials — for example, Saldo is a prominent figure in local political and economic life and he has a lot of enemies,” Skorkin added.


Saldo, who stated shortly before switching sides that “Kherson is Ukraine," was accused of kidnapping his former business partner, Denis Pashchenko, in 2016 and was arrested in the Dominican Republic. Although he denied the accusations, he was also subsequently accused of killing Pashchenko’s brother — a claim he also rejected.


“The [occupied Ukrainian] regions have always had a stormy life,” Skorkin said.


Either way, if Kyiv’s counteroffensive in southern Ukraine stalls, the number and frequency of assassinations by Ukranian partisans could rise, Skorkin said, as “spreading chaos” in the rear of Russian troops becomes a substitute for retaking territory.


The “goal is to make it obvious that the Russian-installed administrations do not really control anything,” analyst Preobrazhensky said.

I am not going to bother with the links, but for those that are smart enough to gather proper intelligence without being bogged down via propaganda it would appear that US supplied HARM anti radiation missiles launched by Ukrainian MIG 29s that Skiddy claimed were destroyed in the first three days of the war have destroyed almost all the Russian air defenses over Kherson and that the Bayraktars are now flying over the airspace conducting precision strikes on units in support of the counteroffensive.
