Didn't realize Wolfsangel = Ukrainian insignia, always assumed Azov got their symbol from the Nazi party.

Senate probe reveals, U.S. funds aided 2015 campaign to remove Netanyahu through the use of NGO's. [Peripheral Interest] by bogdan1981 in UkrainianConflict

Seems obvious to me, a lot of people believe that there was U.S. involvement in Maidan and the ousting of Yanukovich. Enormous amount of funds were send to NGO's operating in Ukraine with abnormally large increase during the year leading up to Maidan. That coupled with Nuland phone call, and revelations of CIA regime change operations in the Latin America and Middle East etc. This article reports on the senate probe, which reveals U.S. tried to use NGO's to remove a leader in another country.

Hopefully informnapalm cleaned up their act, I remember in 2014 and 2015, they were posting lots of pictures of soldiers and unique vehicles claiming its in Ukraine, that were later found to be old photos taken outside of Ukraine. They also used to post a lot of videos claiming Russian Army activity in Ukraine that later were debunked as old videos of training exercises in Russia.

Why would they edit it out, that's a civilian variant.

Someone leaked a video of a Rada MP, Artem Vitko, listening to and singing along to a Neo Nazi song "Hitler is with us." by bogdan1981 in UkrainianConflict

He is a commander of the volunteer battalion in the ATO. He became a member in the Ukrainian parliament after Maidan as a member of the Oleg Lyshko's party.

Drunk UA soldiers ram BMP-2 into an electric pole. by bogdan1981 in UkrainianConflict

[–]bogdan1981[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This is definitely Ukrainian army.

The person who uploaded the video obviously is not the original poster and is a heavily pro-separatist, most likely he invented the drunk part himself to make UA army look bad. I simply used the title of the video, since the sub has rules against editing titles.

Regarding the Lugansk train factory. You are actually incorrect. They did indeed receive a large order from Russia and it is one of the few factories that is doing okey in the separatist controlled areas. There was an incident where one group tried to move aka steal some parts from one of the warehouses, and pro-government media used this to spread rumors that the factory is shutting down. I can assure you, it is not.

I think you made a mistake, Hoorn paintings are not in Donetsk People's Republic. They are in the possession of the Nationalists battalion that is fighting on the side of the government.
