"In 2020 millions of people around the world protested against racism in the wake of the police murder of George Floyd.
"Ukrainians made it clear that they were not to be included amongst that mass of humanity and in fact expressed their support for white supremacy.
"In June 2020, a group of football fans at a match in Ukraine unfurled a banner reading, 'Free Derek Chauvin.'
"Chauvin is the man who murdered George Floyd.
"Not to be outdone, members of the neo-Nazi group Nazionalny Sprotyv, National Resistance, marched on October 14, 2020 with a banner that made the point very clear.
"The words 'White Lives Matter' were written in English and in much larger type than the name of the organization which appeared in small type below..."
"Ukraine was a divided nation from its very beginnings after World War I, with half of the country hating the Soviet Union so much that they sided with and fought alongside the Germans.
"January 1 is officially celebrated not just as the first day of the year but as the birthday of Ukraine’s chief Nazi collaborator, Stepan Bandera.
"The 2023 celebration was no exception but not without embarrassment.
"The Ukrainian parliament was forced to delete a Twitter post featuring a photo of army commander General Valerii Zaluzhny juxtaposed with an image of Bandera.
"Bandera massacred thousands of Poles during the war and the Ukrainians had to be reminded through diplomatic channels that everyone isn’t as forgiving as clueless Americans.
"Just as Operation Paperclip is an inconvenient and rarely discussed truth, Ukraine’s continuing Nazi and white supremacist connections are now hushed up by the U.S. state and its media partners."
