The Ukrainian authorities during a special operation in the East of the country send to the front of the group of mercenaries, some of which adhere to the neo-Nazi ideology, writes.
now participants of the armed group take active part in the battles of Donetsk, and in a clash in Marinka members of the battalion were sent to attack before tanks and armored vehicles, but the connection like formations to the special operations obliged to give Europeans in horror, emphasizes Telegraph. Although officially this grouping are subject to Ukrainian interior Ministry, the source of their payment vague, preparation imperfect and takes only two weeks, and ideology should alert the magazine writes.
So, the battalion As the Nazis during the 3rd Reich, uses the symbol of the " wolf's hook ", and the party openly admit that they or racists or anti-Semites. While the commander of the battalion " Azov " Andrey Beletsky, according to Telegraph, informs that on nationalistic views wishing to join in the accumulation nobody pays attention. In his vision, the key is to recruit was " a good fighter and a man you can trust ".
One of the members of the battalion 23-year-old Stepan told the paper that if the leaders of militias East of the country were brought to them in captivity, they would be executed " military court ". Another fighter with the Callsign " Phantom " informs openly that he was a Nazi.
" I don't hate commissioners of other nationalities, but I think that every nation should live in their own state ", - quotes the expression of the Phantom magazine.
Anyway, such groups are attracted not only the Ukrainians, but also foreigners. As informs magazine referring to Andrey Beletsky, in the battalion's warriors of Ireland, Greece and the Scandinavian countries. One of the participants of formation, a 37-year-old Swede, a former sniper in the army, told Telegraph that he trains fighters " Azov ".

At the same time, Western experts fear that such groups are attracted only " marginal groups from all over Ukraine and from abroad ". The danger lies in the fact that the connection battalion " Azov " and similar to special operations will become " poisoned legacy for Ukraine after the war, stresses the magazine.
