The Ukrainian military has labored, for years, to root out far-right extremists in its ranks. The latest clash between the extremists and the defense ministry in Kyiv couldn’t have come at a worse time—or in a worse place.

After weeks of drama, the defense ministry redeployed and shook up the staffing within the army’s 67th Mechanized Brigade this weekend. The brigade was holding the most vulnerable district in the most vulnerable city in eastern Ukraine’s Donetsk Oblast: the canal district of Chasiv Yar.

Now the 67th Brigade—what’s left of it—has redeployed to the Ukrainian rear, and a brigade of Ukrainian territorials apparently has taken over the canal district’s defense.

According to the Military Summary Channel many of these neo Nazis have been cut off from escaping in the Chasiv Yar eastern cauldron. Apparently, Syrski placed them in this untenable position and left them to the tender mercies of the Russians surrounding them. These thugs have been around since the war was started in 2014 and were responsible for many of the atrocities committed against ethnic Russians in then eastern Ukraine.

Looks like Ukraine is doing the job of de-Nazification for Putin.

Amazing that the Ukrainians haven’t figured out yet who Syrski works for.

The NAZIs are not far right. They are far left. Just not as far left as the communists. NAZI is a national socialist workers party. Like our flaming democRATs.

"has redeployed to the Ukrainian rear"

lol. What's that other word for that?

[dforest]

Hah, Ukraine did nothing to root out their nazis. Many of their Azovs and Right Sector dudes are now dead. Ukraine still celebrates their nazis as was witnessed in the Canadian Parliament when Trudeau celebrated a big murdering old nazi for Zelensky and his wife as they clapped like happy seals.

There isn’t a whole lot of difference between right wing extremists and leftwing extremists. At least in Ukraine, the problem is in the past, unlike in Russia.

Before he was fired, nationalist Gen. Zaluzhny held these units in reserve, away from the front lines (possibly to aid him a’ la Caesar’s Roman legions in a future coup).

Syrsky and Zelvis are trying to purge them by sacrificing them in combat.

“Strikes in the deep rear”: that will get Lindsey Graham excited.

[freeandfreezing]

Sounds like more BS Russian propaganda to me.

Why do you think that is true? Do you have a source other than your own imagination or some Russian MOD talking points?

[hardspunned]

The Ukes are saying the same thing. The reality that NATO has hung them out to dry has got them telling the truth.

[RetiredTexasVet]

In Europe there are no true liberals or conservatives. To the far left are the communists, next to the right art the fascists, and the far right are the socialists and there is nothing to the right of the socialists (NAZIs).

[rfp1234]

Yes. An objective mind and analytical ability are your FRiends.
