Has anybody read the article above by "FAIR" (Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting)?

There is a lot of interesting material here that paints a complicated picture which, if accurate, suggests that the US has meddled a great deal in Ukraine's internal affairs, and may have even played a hand in the 2014 revolution. I'm curious to get feedback on the material presented in this article. Is it credible?

A second item that I'd like feedback on is the video below by the BBC, created in 2014, which documents the activities of neo-nazi groups in Ukraine who wish to create a "clean" (i.e. ethnically homogeneous) country.

This video surprised me because I had assumed that Putin's claims of nazi groups in Ukraine was absurd. Are these groups small and insignificant, or do they have some real power?[/quote]

Those nazi groups were seeded and supported by Russia as part of its efforts to weaken Ukraine.

Ukraine doesn't have a Neo-nazi problem. (any more than any other Western country, including the U.S.) They elected Zelensky, who is Jewish, with over 70% of the vote. The mayor of Melitopol is Vitaly Kim, a Korean Ukrainian. [/quote]

But the neo-Nazi groups in the BBC video are pro-Ukrainian, not pro-Russia. Why would Russians finance pro-Ukrainian nazi groups?

Obviously, Zelensky and the mayor are not nazis. But the BBC videos indicates that nazi groups are indeed active in Ukraine.

You missed the point. Russia's playbook is to weaken its enemies by fomenting internal division. They have done it here. They have done it in Europe. They are not trying to get Ukrainian hate groups to be pro Russian. They are content to have Ukrainian hate groups be hateful toward their fellow Ukrainians. [/quote]
