These various neo-Nazi units, trained by [[the West]], were integrated into the [[Armed Forces of Ukraine]] (AFU). After 2014 [[Maidan coup]], the West actively protected these neo-Nazi groups.  Victoria Nuland, in 2021, told Volodymyr Zelensky to appoint Dmytro Yarosh as adviser to the [[Commander-in-Chief]] of the Ukrainian army—because no one can fight Russians better than Nazis.

The proposed $61 billion Ukraine aid bill for 2024 first provides a little over $20 billion to replenish the American weapons already given to Kiev, it then gives $14 billion to Ukraine to purchase American weapons when and if they're produced, it gives $15 billion to Ukraine for support services such as military training and intelligence sharing, about $8 billion would go to help Ukraine’s government continue basic operations with a prohibition on money going toward pensions, and there’s about $1.6 billion to help Ukraine’s private sector.
