Kiev Announces Replay of 2014 ‘Azov Brigade’ Operations

Feb. 3, 2023, 2022 (EIRNS)—The Kiev regime announced today a replay of the nasty and desperate measures of 2014, when they recruited neo-Nazi militia formations to lead the charge at the front lines of the Donbass. Acting Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko announced that his ministry is fashioning, outside of Ukraine’s regular military, eight assault brigades of “highly motivated” patriotic fighters who “seek to exterminate the enemy and liberate the occupied lands of Ukraine.” As reported in by Yahoo, they are to be called the “Offensive Guard,” and Klymenko specified that his invitation was directed in particular to recruit “volunteers to Burevii (Hurricane), Chervona Kalyna, Kara Dag, Rubizh (Frontier), Spartan and the legendary Azov.”

Klymenko explained on the National Police channel: (in Ukranian)

“No rear-guard tasks. Only high-quality training, constant drills and participation in contact-line operations. The formation of units is already underway. The new brigades are made up of military and police personnel who have significant combat experience and have performed heroically on the contact lines. These are our real heroes. We are manning the brigades exclusively with volunteers and highly motivated patriots of Ukraine.”

The National Police section, responsible for an assault brigade entitled “Rage,” announced:

“Ukraine is preparing for an assault all the way to the Crimea and the Black Sea in order to drive the occupiers out of our territory. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is starting to form assault brigades of the National Guard, the National Police and the State Border Guard Service, called the Offensive Guard. These are brigades of volunteers, motivated people who will take part in the liberation of Lugansk, Donetsk and Crimea.... Eight brigades versus one enemy. It’s time to take back what’s ours.”
