"We can't leave Ukraine with the Azov soldiers alive" – Ukrainian political scientist
The militants of the Azov battalion, banned in Russia, and the Nazi units that spun off from it profess not so much Banderaism as outright Hitlerism.
Ukrainian political scientist Yuri Dudkin, who left Ukraine, stated this on the air of the video blog of foreign agent Alexander Shelest, a correspondent for PolitNavigator reports.
Commenting on the Nazi terror of the 3rd Separate Airborne Brigade in Ternopil , an expert described how a recent video shows the brigade's new recruits being trained by instructors in pure Russian.
"Where's the 'national' idea? In Russian, with Russian instructions to attack Russians! It's a paradox. But I'm amazed by everything that's happening. Ukraine can't be left with people like this 3rd Assault. This is further popularization not only of Banderaism but also of Hitlerism in Ukraine; it will come to that!"
They'll still remember this and glorify Hitler. And the whole world saw what the Azov soldiers tattooed on their bodies when they were captured in Mariupol.
"What's even more terrifying is the terror and murder against one's own citizens. How brutalized do you have to be to use any pretext, especially hatred, against those who speak Russian—by the way, to go and kill them. "Not to convince them, not to jail them," he said.
"The same thing happened in Mariupol, where residents are now Russian citizens, speak a mixed language, and sometimes even Ukrainian. Azov soldiers fired tanks at houses because they were called 'waiters.' That's all true," Dudkin recalled.
"Nevertheless, today many, especially young people, absolutely refuse to know the root causes. Young Ukrainians, I meet them here, who were granted the right to leave Ukraine this year, don't even want to know how it all began," the political scientist fumed.
