In 2015, an absolutely horrific video began circulating, which purportedly depicted members of the Azov Battalion crucifying a Russian resident of eastern Ukraine, then setting the cross upon which he was literally and bloodily nailed on fire. Around the same time, another clip – titled “K*kes get the rope” – featuring a hanged pregnant woman and her husband, also proliferated online. It was claimed the pair were Jews who had been lynched by Azov fighters.

Multiple Ukrainian and Western government-funded factchecking websites, including the Neo-Nazi sympathizing StopFake, declared the footage to be fraudulent, and did so again in chorus when the gruesome visuals resurfaced widely following February 24.

The Azov Battalion has also repeatedly denied that their fighters were responsible for either heinous act, although their defense was not compelling. It was simply claimed that the Azov logo on the murderers’ uniforms was “much larger than it should be.”

The testimony of McLellan confirms those videos are very real. He in fact features in the crucifixion footage, and took photos of Tornado fighters posing with the corpses of the hanged couple.

    Sometimes I wonder if they did actually learn and thought, “oh this is great”. All conflict is highly profitable for western weapons manufacturers, not the people as they will suffer in cold. This is laying the foundations for a future conflict.

    • the flow of Nazis from Ukraine to Europe is probably one of the many desired effects of funding them, so they can pressure European governments to increase militarization and dependence on Amerikan companies in the name of “anti-terrorism”

      How many of those terror attacks happened to people funding USA politicians? Third parties destroying Asia for free is a positive.

        Exactly what I am alluding to. Most victims of Islamic extremism are actually just everyday Muslims. That’s why the US has no problem propping them up in places like Syria.
