==Background==

Line 19: Line 19:

''The Postil'' reported that in 2007, the [[CIA]] put together a “conference” of various anti-Russian factions in Ukraine whose purpose was nothing other than to groom [[neo-Nazi]]s and [[jihad]]ists, both groups being solidly [[anti-Russian]]. Overseeing the conference was [[Dmytro Yarosh]], who led the Trident and the [[Pravy Sektor]], both neo-Nazi organizations.<ref>https://www.thepostil.com/the-nazis-of-ukraine/</ref>

In December 2013, in a speech to the U.S.-Ukraine Foundation, Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs [[Victoria Nuland]] said: “The United States has supported Ukraine’s European aspirations. … We have invested over $5 billion to assist Ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic Ukraine.” On December 14 Sen. John McCain met with fascist leader Oleh Tyahnybok and Arseniy Yatsenyuk in Kyiv.<ref>https://progressivedemocrat.org/tag/oleh-tyahnybok/</ref>

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

Their numbers include all aid from January 24, 2022 to October 3, 2022.

Russian production capacities are so large that they can produce the entire stock of the [[Bundeswehr]] in just over six months. Russia has significantly increased its production capacities for important weapons systems, for example doubling its production of long-range air defense systems and tripling its production of [[tank]]s.
