The BBC: Who are the Ukraine "SS Bears", 2022
The BBC article above does acknowledge that the unit's commander Alexandr "has a tattoo" (how cute, just one problematic tatto), but Alexandr "just laughs it off, says that ideology ... fades into the background, because everyone has the same enemy".
How mature of him! Anyway its just a 1488, right? Just some numbers... maybe its an old email auth code.... Let's see...
Alexander \"Bear\". The BBC said \"he has a tattoo\". Yeah, well... and a few more ...
>Quoting the article :
[SS BEARS is] a volunteer formation that was not officially part of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Guard or other structures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Bears were part of the Ukrainian Volunteer Army (UDA), a formation that split off from the Right Sector Volunteer Ukrainian Corps in 2015*.
After fighting in the Ukraine South for 7 years in 2022 the UDA de jure became part of the Territorial Defense Forces, and was transferred to the operational control of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine as a Spetsnaz unit.
>Quoting the article :
The "Bears" were indeed one of the most efficient Ukrainian formations in that sector of the front.
I wonder how the people of Donbass looked up on all of this? An openly nazi formation backed by the fascist Right Sector (which was normalized during the Maidan Coup), went to fight for the right Ukrainians against the wrong Ukrainians in South? And you still wonder why the people there think Ukraine government glorifies the Nazi?
P.S. More on the right Sector and the SS Bears unit.
