Pro-Ukraine militiamen storm shops, smash property
Pro-Ukraine mobs linked to the notorious Azov outfit have stormed shops and smashed property.
Video footage posted on Twitter on Sunday showed masked members of the controversial National Militia associated with the white supremacists neo-Nazi group with insignia resembling the swastika smashing, trashing and torching presumably pro-Russian businesses in Ukraine.
The group is linked to Arsen Avakov, Kiev’s ambitious internal affairs minister, according to a report posted by American journalist, author and blogger Max Blumenthal.

The Azov outfit has been identified as the militia arm of politicians supporting the rise of fascism and neo-nazism in Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a military operation in Ukraine on February 24 to “de-militarize” and to “de-Nazify” the neighboring country.
In late March, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the West had declared a “total war” against his country, employing tactics comparable to those of the Nazi Germany.
“They have declared a true hybrid war, a total war against us,” he said.
In the meantime, Kiev’s western allies, led by the United States, have been speeding up the delivery of vast consignments of weapons and military equipment to Ukraine, prolonging the conflict with Russia.
China has, in the meantime, called on the West to stop sending weapons and equipment to Ukraine.
Zhang Jun, the Chinese ambassador to the UN, has warned that such deliveries will only escalate the ongoing conflict and worsen the humanitarian crisis in the country.
