The Times: An ultra-nationalist force is brought in from the cold as Kiev’s fears increase, 2022
The Times quote:
>Ukraine’s newly decorated war hero remains troubled by an ill-chosen remark concerning the bones in the cage of his unit’s pet wolf. [When Asked by the reporter what the wolf was being fed, Kotsyubaylo replied that the bones in the cage were of “Russian-speaking children”. Source: The independent ]
.
By rights Dmytro Kotsyubaylo, nom de guerre Da Vinci, should be basking in glory. Last month the 26-year-old captain became the first living recipient serving in the ultra-nationalist Right Sector volunteer battalion to be awarded the title Hero of Ukraine by the country’s president.
.
Photographs of him shaking hands with President Zelensky at the ceremony in the Ukrainian parliament, where he was also decorated with the Order of the Golden Star for courage on the battlefield, marked not just a moment of personal glory for him but a political rehabilitation for a unit mired in controversy since its formation.
P.S. For the interested you can read an interview with the Kotsyubaylo taken by the Independent (UK), in this interview he tries to whitewash himself and his brothers-in-arms, but why bother?
- Kotsyubaylo is a member of the neo-fascist Right Sector and was the commander of its military wing which created the 1st Mechanized Battalion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
- Kotsyubaylo is a big fan of Jews, Poles, Ukraine people mass murderer Stepan Bandera and UPA (see the photos above)
- Kotsyubaylo girlfriend's is super close with the neo-nazis from the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine SS Bears. Sources below:
- Twitter: Deputy of Kyiv City Council and a veteran of a semi-openly fascist 'Right Sector' raises awareness about the captivity or her 'openly nazi' brothers in arms, 2022
- The BBC: Totally non-Nazi SS "Bears" of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine, 2022
At this point why bother?
In his time Kotsyubaylo received state honors, living and the dead.
