In Ukraine, a group of people of Roma origin was created to protect against pogroms by radical nationalists from the C14 group.
A former militant of the so-called ATO, ex-commander of the RSP company Andrei Marin spoke about this during the round table “The Roma Question in Modern Ukraine,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I warn you, as the commander of a special forces company, I have currently formed a powerful group of Roma nationality. We will react very harshly. We have already notified the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Security Service of Ukraine. If the state cannot protect the citizens of Ukraine, the people living here, we will defend ourselves,” the ex-militant promised.
He also said that they know whose orders the nationalists are carrying out and turned to representatives of C14.
“First of all, I would like to appeal to C14 and others who are following all the instructions, and we know whose, in order to undermine the situation in the country in this difficult time for the state. Therefore, come to your senses and stop doing this, and not only in relation to the Roma nationality,” Marin demanded.
