The Maidan regime outlawed political opposition parties in 2022 arrested members of parliament. Additionally, it implemented draconian measures against all opposition including arrests, disappearances, beatings, public humiliation, and murder. There is no free press in Ukraine, and Ukrainian security services has gone so far as to hunt down critics of the regime outside its borders.
With the U.S.-backed overthrow of the democratically elected government in 2014, foreign capital and investors invaded the country causing the collapse of Ukrainian "mom-and-pop" enterprises which flourished after 1991, creating widespread poverty and unemployment, making resource rich Ukraine the poorest nation in Europe.
The U.S.-backed coup brought to power neo-Nazis, which Western media dubbed "moderate rebels". Extrajudicial killings, harassment, arbitrary detentions by the Security Service of Ukraine, beatings and disappearances take place on a regular basis. Repressive measures accelerated and became even more brutal after anti-democratic dictator Volodymyr Zelensky declared martial law in February 2022.
In April of 2022, Efraim Zuroff, the Director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Israel said, “There is no doubt that there are neo-Nazis in Ukraine in various forms, whether in the Azov Regiment or other organizations,” he added. The Ukrainian authorities and deputized ultra-nationalist groups seek out people who openly expressed political views on the former post-Soviet government as well as criticism of the current U.S.-backed Maidan regime. Threats, harassment and calls for violence have been and continue to be made against those who:
-publicly supported the Minsk Agreements,
-are against “de-communization”,
-highlight human rights abuses,
-advocate for a settlement of the Donbas conflict,
-are deemed to be “pro-Russian”,
-church representatives and clergy,
-read news in Russian.
