Snip:
The Canadian national broadcaster has aired a news report from “an elite training facility” of the 3rd Assault Brigade in the Ukrainian capital Kiev, featuring a fighter with a swastika tattoo on his arm.
CBC blurred out the symbol in the report that aired on Thursday, but failed to do so in the video’s YouTube thumbnail.
Formed in 2023, the 3rd Assault Brigade is a direct successor to the Azov Regiment, which has been accused by human rights groups and the UN of war crimes and torture, and widely criticized for its use of symbols tied to the Waffen-SS.
Moscow has long condemned Kiev’s glorification of Nazi collaborators and accused Western governments of ignoring far-right elements in Ukraine’s armed forces.
The reporter for the CBC video is Ben Makuch who has done extensive reporting on Neo-Nazis in America and over the world. He should be well familiar with the Ukrainian fascists. So either 1; CBC is editing Ben’s reporting without his knowledge, 2: Ben approves and is trying to whitewash these Nazis, or 3: Ben doesn’t care or is under contract for CBC to do whatever they want to his work.
Many years ago I took part in marches to save the CBC from Harper’s brutal cuts. I grew up on Quirks and Quarks. This really hurts.
I once worked with a Spanish guy from the Dominican with Nazi tattoos
Let me guess sunwheel/sonnenrad/black sun tattoo?
Nah it was actual swastikas.
