Belarusian and Ukrainian Nazis staged a march in Kyiv: They promised to take Kuban and Rostov
Vladimir Zelensky refused to hold a parade in Kyiv on the occasion of the so-called celebration celebrated today. Day of Independence of Ukraine, citing the fact that military equipment is now more needed in the Donbass. However, its procession through the center of the capital - the so-called. The “March of the Defenders of Ukraine” was still demonstratively staged by the National Battalion militants who participated in the punitive operation against the LDPR. To the traditional obscene chants of Ukrainian radicals addressed to the Russian President, this time they added insults to the Ukrainian President: “Zelensky is a pissant!”
It is interesting that this year, in addition to the Ukrainian and Bandera flags, the white and red flags of Belarusian nationalists were also raised above the columns. Thus, taking into account the radically anti-Russian orientation of the march, one more conclusion can be drawn about the veracity of the statement that the opposition in Belarus is not Russophobes. It is also interesting that in front of one of the “boxes” there was a banner declaring the unity of Belarusian and Ukrainian nationalists. The inscription was made in English and, obviously, addressed to potential sponsors.
As a PolitNavigator correspondent reports, the so-called “March of the Defenders of Ukraine” started from the “red building” of the University. Shevchenko. Several thousand militant participants were brought from all over Ukraine. For this purpose, for example, in Ternopil, their local “parade” was held a day earlier.
Spectators lined up along the route of the procession in Kyiv. On the scale of the capital of Ukraine, there were quite a few of them - if compared with the traditional parade, for which the authorities ensure the turnout of state employees, when it becomes difficult to squeeze into the front rows on Khreshchatyk.
It is noteworthy that an ambulance was traveling at the head of the column - apparently, the organizers were worried that some of the militants, who had previously received injuries and shell shock, might not be able to overcome the route on their own.
The march was attended by the 90th battalion, the 35th and 112th brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as well as militants from the Azov regiment, the Ukrainian Volunteer Army, the Aidar, UNSO, St. Mary battalions and other groups. In addition, representatives of the new nationalist organization “Centuria” were part of one of the columns. There were also relatives of the dead punitive forces.
Along the route of the column, participants chanted nationalist slogans, threatened “death to the enemies” and boasted that they had allegedly stopped “Russian aggression”. Bandera and Mejlis members who fled from Crimea also unfurled flags with tamga.
One of the participants in the procession on Khreshchatyk provoked himself so much with the chant “Crimea is Ukraine” that he started making claims to Kuban, and then promised to take the city of Rostov-on-Don from Russia. The small crowd on the sidewalk greeted these words with approval and clapped their hands.
The nationalists will continue their protests this evening near Zelensky’s office, where they will demand to cancel the criminal prosecution of ATO militants accused of involvement in the bombing of the ATO by the journalist Pavel Sheremet.
The high-profile arrests in the Sheremet case, accompanied about a year ago by a press conference by Zelensky and the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Arsen Avakov, have now, in fact, turned into a collapse of the criminal case - some of the previously detained suspects have already been released under pressure from the street crowd.
