Ukraine: The Untold Story – Far-Right Connections of Pro-EU Faction
Brian Denny ■ So who are these “pro-democracy” campaigners that can’t unseat the government made up of president Viktor Yanukovych’s Party of the Regions and supported by the Communist Party of Ukraine? — Bluntly it is an unholy alliance of conservatives, fascists and revanchist groups promoting a cult around former nazi collaborators. [...] To complete this anti-Russian alliance is Vitaly Klitschko’s UDAR party, an acronym which charmingly translates as “punch.” Klitschko is a world heavyweight boxing champion and national hero who has put his name forward to stand in the 2015 presidential elections. However he may not be eligible to stand as he lives mostly in Germany. The German Christian Democrat Union party openly admits that its Konrad Adenauer Foundation “assigned” Klitschko the task of establishing a right-wing party in the Ukraine in order to create a permanent pro-EU majority in Kiev. During a foundation event with Klitschko in Brussels, German CDU MEP Elmar Brok spoke frankly about why Berlin has such strong interest in Ukraine. After all, it is “a country with great economic possibilities,” with “a well-educated population” and with “good agricultural prerequisites.” It is no wonder that Germany wants to push for the militarisation of Europe at the EU summit planned for later this month.
