Is the US backing Neo-Nazis in Ukraine? | Global Research

As the Euromaidan protests in the Ukrainian capitol of Kiev
culminated this week, displays of open fascism and neo-Nazi extremism
became too glaring to ignore. Since demonstrators filled the downtown
square to battle Ukrainian riot police and demand the ouster of the
corruption-stained, pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovich, it has been
filled with far-right streetfighting men pledging to defend their
country’s ethnic purity.

White supremacist banners and Confederate flags were draped inside Kiev’s occupied City Hall, and demonstrators have hoisted
Nazi SS and white power symbols over a toppled memorial to V.I. Lenin.
After Yanukovich fled his palatial estate by helicopter, EuroMaidan
protesters destroyed
a memorial to Ukrainians who died battling German occupation during
World War II. Sieg heil salutes and the Nazi Wolfsangel symbol have
become an increasingly common site in Maidan Square, and neo-Nazi forces
have established “autonomous zones” in and around Kiev.
