It’s like they say: better late than never.
The western media has been willingly blind to one of the worst-kept geopolitical secrets of our times: that the heroic ‘defenders of democracy’ in Ukraine are, in many cases, a bunch of Neo-Nazis running around unchecked.
The French premier newspaper Le Monde has just released the result of a 10-day investigation on the 3rd assault brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and to their ‘surprise’ and dismay found out that the militants go around openly and proudly wearing neo-Nazi symbols.
Of course, no one needed the Le Monde deep dive, since the information is readily available about the Nazi Azov Brigades and their heirs of the 3rd assault brigade.
And, what’s more, no one is hiding the fact that the Nazi collaborator and war criminal Stephan Bandera has been turned into a Ukrainian national hero.
Just between us: they don’t make much of an effort to hide their extremist ideologies.
Slavyangrad reported:
“According to Le Monde, hundreds of servicemen of the 3rd Assault Brigade — the direct heirs of the Azov Regiment — continue to openly use Nazi symbols. The photo shows swastikas, greeting gestures, and SS emblems.
Despite the ‘reform’ and the formal inclusion of the brigade in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, radical symbols have not disappeared. Journalists note: this is not a matter of chance, but of a conscious choice – either based on ideological convictions or as a tool of intimidation.
On June 14, in Kiev, on the day of the ‘March of Equality’ [Gay Pride], radicals from the ‘Carpathian Sich’ held an alternative ‘March of Tradition’. Participants were captured on camera demonstrating a Nazi salute.”
Watch: Nazi salutes, swastikas, SS emblems… Le Monde Investigation on the 3rd assault brigade.

RT reported (translated from the French):
“A ten-day investigation conducted by the newspaper Le Monde reveals the presence of more than 300 Ukrainian soldiers openly using neo-Nazi symbols. Among them, nearly 200 belong to the 3rd Assault Brigade, heir to the Azov regiment, and have benefited from military training in several Western countries, including France.
[…] In ten days, the journalists identified more than 350 profiles displaying Hitler salutes, swastikas, emblems of the SS or the “Black Sun”.”
“According to the article, “at least 200 of them” are members of the 3rd Assault Brigade, a unit formed from the Azov battalion.
[…] Le Monde recalls that the US Congress had banned all military aid to Azov in 2015 because of its neo-Nazi connections.”
