US-backed Ukrainian government unapologetic
The Ukrainian government has not been shy about putting militias on the front lines, including those who are openly neo-Nazis.
In December, Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko presented a Ukrainian passport to someone who, according to human rights activists, is a "Belarusian neo-Nazi" and is a founding member of the neo-Nazi National Socialist Society whose main goal "is to prepare for a race war."
"Ukraine's government is unrepentant about using the neo-Nazis," the Telegraph's Parfitt wrote. Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to Arsen Avakov (the interior minister who was put on Interpol's wanted list in 2012) didn't refute this point when he said, "a person who takes a weapon in his hands and goes to defend his motherland is a hero. And his political views are his own affair."
In addition to Right Sector's leader Dmytro Yarosh, who won a seat in Ukraine's parliament, senior members of the Azov Battalion have been named to influential positions in the Poroshenko government.
Azov's founder, Andriy Biletsky, who also heads two neo-Nazi political groups, was elected to serve in Ukraine's parliament while the battalion itself has been integrated into the country's National Guard, according to Sky News' Kemp.
Biletsky, who was given an "Order For Courage" award by Poroshenko, recently wrote, "The historic mission of our nation in this critical moment is to lead the white races of the world in a final crusade for their survival. A crusade against the Semite-led sub-humans. The task of the present generation is to create a Third Empire."
The US isn't holding back
In the context of the US opposing a UN resolution designed to combat glorification of Nazism (the only other countries to vote against the resolution were Canada and Ukraine) an impression is created that the US will use any means necessary to achieve its goals in Eurasia.
"Ukraine, a new and important space on the Eurasian chessboard, is a geopolitical pivot because its very existence as an independent country helps to transform Russia. Without Ukraine, Russia ceases to be a Eurasian empire," wrote former US National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski in his 1997 book, The Grand Chessboard.
"However, if Moscow regains control over Ukraine, with its 52 million people and major resources as well as access to the Black Sea, Russia automatically again regains the wherewithal to become a powerful imperial state, spanning Europe and Asia," said Brzezinski, who has been labeled, "The man behind Obama's foreign policy."
The announcement of US troops being sent to Ukraine comes as the US-backed government in Ukraine reported that it is implementing a draft with the goal of adding up to 50,000 soldiers to fight the independence movement (deceivingly labeled "pro-Russian separatists" by western media) in Ukraine.
The presence of foreign fighters in Ukraine is no secret, though claims that groups such as Blackwater are operating in support of Ukrainian battalions have yet to be proven.
