Ukrainian military units
Patches and flags belonging to:
- Ukrainian ultra-nationalists;
- units that attract far-right foreigners;
- foreign & foreign nationalist units;
- Foreign mercenary groups;
- Special police units (from the ATO 'punisher' volunteer groups);
- Main units with Azov connections or created by ex-Azov members,(as spin offs);
There are a myriad of sub-units dotted around the Ukrainian military landscape.
Just for Azov, there are
Second Hundred,
Third (III) Hundred,
Spartans,
Varyag,
Iron Hundred
to name but a few. Connected to this are affiliated groups that are part of the Azov ecosystem, Black Corpus, Civil Corps and Nazi National Corps that have indoctrinated hundreds into a far right Ukrainian nationalist extremism.
Karpatska Sich (with original links to C-14 neo-nazi group), has taken on the mantle of attracting far-right foreigners into its ranks, as Azov is no longer permitted to have foreigners. Karpatska Sich has its own sub-units such as Britania III. Karpatska Sich is part of a very tangled network of far-right extremists, German neo-Nazi party "Der III. Weg" (The III. Way) part of the network connected to C14 and with links to Tradition and Order (Tradytsiia I Poriadok) and Intermarium.
Likewise, the creation of the Russian Volunteer Corps has its roots in Russian Azov members moving out of the unit.
While the West bleat on about Wagner ceaselessly, they don't mind at all that the likes of Forward Observations Group (FOG), Academi, lesser known mercenary groups such as Global Augmentation Group, Dark Angels, FSG and countless others which active are in Ukraine. While others such as Brotherhood of Ukraine seem to do a mash up of medical and military 'help', sometimes on the frontline, like the Right Sector's Hospitaliers, that attracts foreign volunteers, "medics with guns".
Working in progress as units are outlined more.
