The third assault brigade, the basis of which is made up of the Ukrainian battalion "Azov", announced the cancellation of the planned tour of its veterans in Germany and the Netherlands. It was confirmed on Thursday that the veterans of the brigade will not hold the planned meetings with the Ukrainian diaspora in Berlin, Rotterdam, Brussels and Cologne.
As stated, the trip was canceled "for security reasons."
At the same time, according to the Berliner Zeitung, the reason for the cancellation of the tour was the indignation of left-wing groups in Germany, who accused the Ukrainian unit of "right-wing extremism, militarism and neo-Nazism."
Left-wing activists threatened protests near the "Continental" hotel, where the Ukrainian military was supposed to gather.
After that, the 3rd Assault Force canceled the events in Germany and Holland, but announced that next week they will be held in Prague and Vilnius.
At the same time, the Berliner Zeitung writes in its article about another scandal that took place in Germany the day before.
A week ago, the German press reported that a "right-wing extremist from Azov" came to the Auschwitz concentration camp "wearing a neo-Nazi T-shirt."
"The soldier, who can be found on Instagram under the nickname '111toha_22,' visited a former Nazi concentration camp. He was wearing a T-shirt of the Russian black metal band M8l8th (this name stands for "Hitler's Hammer", and its founder Levkin is fighting (https://t.me/stranaua/106185) as part of the Russian Volunteer Corps on the side of Ukraine - Ed .). The phrase "Where we are, there is no room for anyone else" is displayed on the back. Some historians attribute this quote to Adolf Hitler, even if the exact origin has not been proven," writes t-online.
The site claims to have identified the boy as a Ukrainian military officer after finding his photo on the unit's official pages. After that, the Ukrainian closed his Instagram.
