SHOCK VIDEO: UKRAINIAN NEO-NAZIS NAIL REBEL FIGHTER TO CROSS, BURN HIM ALIVE
US-backed militants carry out brutal execution
Shocking
video shows Ukrainian neo-nazi militia fighters carrying out an
ISIS-style execution during which they nail a separatist rebel to a
cross and then burn him alive.
The
authenticity of the footage is yet to be confirmed, although it seems
chillingly real on first viewing.
The
brutal murder was reportedly carried
out by
members of the Azov Battalion, which was converted into a regiment
last year, making it a de facto part of the Ukrainian Army.
The paramilitary
group forms “the
backbone of the forces fighting against the local self-defense
militia advocating independence from Ukraine.”
Ukrainian nationalist volunteers have repeatedly been accused of carrying out “ISIS-style war crimes” during the conflict, including beheadings.
The
clip shows a hooded man kneeling in a field as five Ukrainian
militants stand around him while one reads a statement. The militants
then grab the victim, who is gagged, and place him down on a wooden
cross.
The
man’s arms are taped to the cross and his hands are then nailed to
the structure as he groans and writhes in agony.
The
victim is then lifted up on the cross, which is planted in the ground
before the militants light a fire at the bottom. The video cuts off
at the point that the fire reaches the man’s feet and he begins to
scream.
The
execution, which was reportedly carried out near the village of
Shirokino, came with a message from Azov fighters to pro-Russian
rebels; “All the separatists, traitors of Ukraine and militia
fighters will be treated the same”.
Pro-separatist hackers Cyberberkut, to whom the video was sent, responded by vowing that no Ukrainian Army or militia fighters would be taken alive in future.
Azov
militants identify as neo-nazis and routinely adorn their helmets and
uniforms with Nazi SS logos and swastikas, as seen in the image below
taken from German television.
“Azov fighters do more than wave a Swastika-like flag,” writes Robert Parry, “they favor the Wolfsangel flag of Hitler’s SS divisions, much as some of Ukraine’s neo-Nazis still honor Hitler’s Ukrainian SS auxiliary, the Galician SS. A Ukrainian hero hailed during the Maidan protests was Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera whose paramilitary forces helped exterminate Jews and Poles.”
Following
last year’s coup d’état, Kiev also handed
key positions within
the newly formed government to members of the neo-nazi Svoboda Party,
despite the fact that one if its top members, Yuriy Mykhalchyshyn,
founded a think tank named the Joseph Goebbels Political Research
Centre as an homage to the Nazi propaganda minister.
Despite
their implication in war crimes and fascist ideology, on Monday, U.S.
troops from the 173rd Airborne Brigade arrived
at the Yavoriv training ground in
Lviv to work with Ukrainian national guard battalions.
As
the Telegraph
reported last year,
Kiev has thrown openly fascist battalions like Azov onto the front
line in their battle against pro-Russian separatist rebels.
Despite
their clear neo-nazi sympathies, Senator John McCain and others
have repeatedly
called on the Obama administration to
arm pro-Kiev militants. Last month Congress passed
a resolution urging
Obama to send “lethal defensive weapon systems” to Ukraine.
Arming
and funding bloodthirsty militants who carry out ISIS-style
executions would be a repeat of Washington’s disastrous policy of
doing the very same thing in Libya and Syria, a strategy
that directly
led to the growth of ISIS throughout
the region. However, a Pew
poll conducted
in February found that a majority of Americans support doing
precisely that.
The
one hour video below exhaustively documents how neo-nazi militants
were involved in both the overthrow of the elected Ukrainian
government as well as fighting on the front lines alongside post-coup
Kiev forces
