UKRAINE: CLARIFYING THE CONFLICT: The Groups Involved and their Agendas
PANDEMIC WRITINGS, Melbourne, Australia (2020-2022): piece originally published March 2, 2022
The crucial thing to be mindful of while assessing all "information" emerging from the ever-foggy events unfolding in the Ukraine — is that there are numerous active forces involved:
There are also multiple spheres of active conflict, many ongoing since 2014.
THE MAIN GROUPS:
(UAF) The Ukrainian Armed Forces
(RAF) The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation
(DPR) The Donetsk People's Republic
(LPR) The Luhansk People's Rebublic
The Azov Battalion
Right Sector & other Ultranationalist groups
Armed Ukrainian Street gangs
Ukrainian Police Force
International Fighters and Mercenaries
(1) The Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF): official Army of Ukraine, misdirected under a criminal puppet-government with a false President (a literal actor?) installed to ensure the furtherance of Western Deep State regional interests at the ultimate cost to the Ukrainian people. Infiltrated by the Azov Battalion and Right Sector and other assorted Far Right Nationalist groups, they are literally being exploited to divide Ukrainians against Ukrainians — most do not have the heart to truly fight their own (many are deserting posts, and laying down weapons at present).
(2) The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (RAF): invited into the newly independent Eastern Ukrainian region of Donbass upon the request of the DPR and LPR as Peacekeepers. Both the DPR and the LPR have been shelled for the last 8 years by openly Nazi forces amassed on their border in defiance of the 2015 Minsk Agreement ceasefire: "white" Ukrainians fighting ethnically-Russian Ukrainians. Russia aims to end the 8-year civil war on Donbass.
Have declared that they will "demilitarise and de-Nazify Ukraine" (and, indeed, Ukraine is absolutely awash with Nazis!) and have attacked military installations and strategic targets within Western Ukraine that have been "captured" by Western interests and are currently being used to advance NATO aggression against Russia — including the expressed future potential of establishing a ballistic-missile battery with nuclear capability directed at Moscow.
Have officially declared that they have no intent to occupy territory, but to "de-Nazify" and eradicate the undeniable Nazi threat to all Ukrainians and Eastern Europe.
(3) The Donetsk People's Republic (DPR): Donbass Region — predominantly Ukrainians of Russian-ethnicity).
Defenders of Donbass.
Actively engaged in battling The Azov Battalion, Right Sector & others (since 2014, ongoing)
(4) The Luhansk People's Rebublic (LPR): Donbass Region — predominantly Ukrainians of Russian-ethnicity).
Defenders of Donbass.
Actively engaged in battling The Azov Battalion, Right Sector & others (since 2014, ongoing)
(5) The Azov Battalion: Flagrantly Neo-Nazi; espousing White Supremacist ideology and brazenly displaying Swastikas and Third Reich inspired insignia and runes — predominantly Western Ukrainians under the Nazi spell-of-old; a paramilitary-force backed, funded, armed and commanded by CIA Deep State and NATO masters for the continued persecution and genocidal conquest over Donbass. Comprising Death Squads, they are high-level infiltrators of The Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Have sabotaged and destroyed infrastructure to "blame the Russians."
Have indiscriminately shelled and terrorised the people of Donbass for the last eight years. Will shell their own civilian "friendly" buildings for propaganda effect.
Gloated about setting fire to a building in Odessa (2014) and incinerated all anti-Maiden/anti-CIA Colour Revolution (ethnic Russians) that were inside.
Will execute official Armed Forces of Ukraine (UAF) personnel should they retreat, or choose against aggression against fellow Ukrainians.
Will use "human shields" to further their agenda. Will murder for strategic effect: Nazi in spirit.\
(6) Right Sector & others Ultranationalist groups: undeniably Far-Right and Nationalist, espousing views that are compatible with banning the Russian language throughout all of Ukraine (even amongst Russian-speaking Donbass residents); essentially a more subdued version of The Azov Battalion, but, nevertheless, virtually indistinguishable in ideology and expressed purpose: a Ukraine cleansed of all undesired ethnicities.
(7) Armed Ukrainian Street gangs: looting and organised crime has run rampant since the West decapitated the legitimate leadership of Ukraine and installed a chaotic Nazi regime beholden to advancing NATO and Deep State exploits (human trafficking, money laundering etc) and the militarisation of Ukraine against its Russian neighbour. A government decision to issue 30,000 firearms to civilians will only contribute to infighting, crime, and casualties amongst the desperate people.
(8) Ukrainian Police: instructed to shoot looters on sight. Will be openly battling their own civilians amidst the manufactured chaos.
(9) International Fighters and Mercenaries: recently invited visa-free into the Ukraine by the Puppet President, Zenenskyy. Will be comprised of mostly European neo-Nazis and Far Right extremists and professional Western BlackOps Mercenary forces and other shadowy killers. Will ultimately contribute to further destabilisation, civilian trauma and saboteur operations to the detriment of all Ukrainians. A portal for chaos.
