Khartiia is one of two fascist corps btw, it's not a brigade. The National Guard of Ukraine was recently reorganised into two 15,000 member Corps. One is Azov Corps (azov brigade no longer exists and is now a much larger fascist-led corps) and the other is Khartiia, also fascist-led.
Here is a picture of a Khartiia ceremony.
This interview is conducted with fascists.
Are they trying to look evil lmao
Yes
Liberal media would explain it as "to intimidate Russians" or some bullshit like that.
it's to troll them!
CIA taught them how to do theme lighting.
that's about division size, unless ukraine uses smaller size for corps
2 fash divisions making up the national guard corps
Ahh yes i stand corrected, either way not a brigade anymore. 2*15,000 fascists running are the entire national guard and they perform the same role the SS performed, they are not frontline deployed.
I can't tell if that's Zelenskyy or some guys cosplaying Zelenskyy.
I think Ukrainian fash just look like that.
It's western news media interviewing Ukrainian soldiers, this is a redundant line.
Ah, so that's where the leftover Brotherhood of Nod sets ended up!
What is that ominous symbol on their flags? I can only assume it's something fashy like the wolfsangle, but I don't recognize it.
It's stylised bow and arrow in square shape. Why Ukrainian nazis would use typical steppe symbol is unknown to me so it's 100% dogwhistle for swastika.
It seems very much based on the ww2 nazi turkestan volunteer badge
ChatGPT, please draw me a swastika that doesn’t look like a swastika
It looks like a space marine logo
Holy fucking shit this does look 100% like some evil Warframe or Wolfenstein faction, and libs are juicing themselves over it.
Lol they look like the bad guys in x-com 2, wouldn't be surprised if they're a bunch of giant snakes under those human skins
Just like clockwork, the fascists took the opportunity of the crisis to place themselves closer to power. Expect these two factions to make light work of any post-war government
I'm quite sure that they're a major component of the problem for bringing an end to the war. How do you form a post-war government when there's a 30,000 strong national guard of fascists that will coup it immediately?
The only way to bring peace to Ukraine is to eliminate the organisations of nazis. This guard will need to be disbanded as part of the peace agreements and then any insurgency they hold will need to be fought to destruction.
absolutely. If Russia's "denazification" rhetoric were to be believed (which we shouldn't believe at face value) then this should be a shared goal between Zelensky and Putin. Especially if the former wants to survive the war with his head.
I don't believe that zelensky hasn't joined those circles as a result of the war tbh, maybe he's not authentically fascist but he could certainly have joined them opportunistically or simply because it's so normalised in Ukraine.
That time he said he wanted Ukraine to be Big Israel was an eye opener for me that he's worse than people realise.
Yeah there's either a part of him giving into the fascist elements out of terror that they may punish him after the fact, or because the typical opportunist liberalism kicked in and he's convinced that he can tame the Nazis
Or just the usual liberalism conforming to the dominant culture in society. A liberal could very easily rationalise ultranationalism as a necessary feature of the patriotic defence of the country.
Someone here once wrote this passage on absorbomorphs and it always stuck with me:
