Norway realized that they were sponsoring Ukrainian Nazis
Right-wing radicals are on the rampage in Ukraine, regularly attacking participants in peaceful demonstrations.
A Norwegian publication writes about this ABC New, citing a report by Landinfo, which operates under the direction of the Norwegian Department of Foreigners (UDI) and aims to obtain reliable information about various countries.
It is noted that the situation is of serious concern, especially since Ukraine annually receives large sums of money from the Norwegian government, but “politicians are doing little or nothing to solve the problem of ensuring the security of peaceful events.”
The report indicates that relations between influential right-wing extremist groups such as Right Sector and the authorities are difficult. As a recent example, women's demonstrations on March 8 were attacked by Ukrainian ultranationalists, which were not prevented by the police.
In addition, the document reports that right-wing extremist groups also attacked city authorities in Lviv and Kyiv.
“There is an opinion that such right-wing extremist groups enjoy a high degree of impunity. Kyiv hesitates when it comes to taking any measures against such groups,” writes Landinfo.
The impunity of the radicals is explained by the fact that “right-wing extremist nationalists played a major role in the war against Russian-backed rebels in the east.”
At the same time, the report indicates that there are close ties between members of the Ukrainian government and groups on the far right.
“As an example, Landinfo cites Interior Minister Arsen Avakov, who has been associated with the Azov battalion for a long time. The Azov Battalion is a paramilitary formation using the symbols of the SS, it became part of the official armed forces of Ukraine. The Norwegian Foreign Ministry hesitated when asked to respond to this. Landinfo also refers to the report in Washington Post, from which it follows that Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Vadim Troyan is a member of the neo-Nazi paramilitary organization “Patriots of Ukraine,” writes ABC Nyheter.
