Ukraine: Azov nazis threaten peace with march to stop Donbass polls

THOUSANDS of Ukrainian nazis marched through the capital Kiev yesterday against polls in the eastern, rebel-held Donbass region — a key part of the Minsk II peace deal.

Members of military unit the Azov Battalion and its paramilitary youth wing, the so-called Civil Corps, paraded in martial formation alongside the notorious Right Sector.

Right Sector was the fascist muscle behind the 2014 Maidan Square coup against the government of Viktor Yanukovych and the chief suspect in the Odessa Trade Union House massacre.
