in World News Neo-Nazi Azov Regiment Is Leading the Kharkiv Offensive in Ukraine, Former Blackwater Group Involved
By Richard Abelson
US media and politicians are celebrating the Ukrainian offensive in the region north of Kharkiv. What they fail to mention is the fact the Ukrainian assault is being spearheaded by the neo-Nazi Azov Regiment.
“Soldiers of the Azov Kharkiv Special Operations Forces (SOF) and the 14th Mechanised Brigade named after Prince Roman the Great liberated and cleared the entire northeast of Kharkiv Oblast, from the village of Vesele to the city of Vovchansk”, Ukrainska Pravda reports, citing the Telegram Channel of the Azov Kharkiv SOF: “Complete de-occupation of areas of Ternova, Varvarivka, Izbytske, Staritsa . The state border has been taken under control.”
Russian online news site Lenta reports that mercenaries from Academi (formerly Eric Prince’s Blackwater) are also involved in the Kharkiv offensive, citing Russian state-owned VGTRK television journalist Andrey Medvedev. “There is information that PMC (Private Military Company) Academi is actively involved in the operation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the former Blackwater,” Medvedev said.
Independent sources have confirmed the claims. Gateway Pundit has reached out to Academi owner Constellis Group for comment.
