Christian Terrorism, sounds just like Sunni on Shia, but what do you expect, same deity, same stupidity.

The rough-looking young men brought clubs and brass knuckles to the Pechersk Monastery in Kiev , one of Orthodox Christianity’s most important pilgrimage sites, apparently seeking to disrupt worship.
“People have been forcibly dragged out of our temples, the locks have been sawed off,” he told The Associated Press. “People in camouflage and balaclavas, with insignia of radical organizations, have come and beat our believers and priests.”
But some Ukrainian nationalists appear ready to use force. In September, radical right-wingers broke into a church in western Ukraine, beat up a priest, drove parishioners away and locked the building.
“To be in the Moscow Patriarchate is to take part in the murder of Ukrainians,” he told the AP. “Not only those who pull the trigger are responsible, but those who bless the pulling of the trigger.”

EU rebukes Putin with human rights prize to jailed Ukrainian film-maker
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/oct/25/jailed-ukrainian-film-maker-oleg-sentsov-wins-sakharov-prize
A Crimean dissident sentenced to 20 years in Russian prison has been awarded the European parliament’s prestigious Sakharov prize in a sharp criticism of Russia’s human rights record likely to provoke anger from the Kremlin.
Oleg Sentsov, a Ukrainian film-maker vocally opposed to Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea, was convicted on terrorism charges in 2015 and sentenced to two decades in prison.

OMG. There are Nazi d***heads in Ukraine...
In this case football hooligans from Ukraine "cheering" Dynamo Kiev playing in Rome against Lazio last Thursday.
It would never happen in Russia!

There is no Russian Ultras!

Russian hooligan Vasily the Killer, said the following:
"The operation in Marseille was full of special military forces of football hooligans sent by Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin to conquer Europe. Being a hooligan has given me principles and courage, along with the feeling you are on top of Everest and can do anything."

So what! Illegal votes doesn't count!
Ukraine, the United States, and the European Union have condemned the latest vote as a sham manipulated by Russia and in violation of the accords -- signed in the Belarusian capital, Minsk, in September 2014 and February 2015 -- laying out steps for settling the conflict in eastern Ukraine.
EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said on November 10 that the bloc considers the polls "illegal and illegitimate and will not recognize them."
"These particular elections are a mockery, really, of the idea of genuine elections that need to be held," Kurt Volker, the U.S. special envoy for Ukraine, said on November 8.
"They are under conditions of occupation, whether it’s no freedom of expression, no freedom of movement, no freedom of campaigning, and generally therefore no freedom of choice for the people in electing candidates for legitimate local leadership positions," Volker also said.

https://www.unian.info/war/10332936-fake-local-elections-under-way-in-russian-occupied-donbas.html
The acting head of the separatists in the Donetsk region, 37-year-old Denis Pushilin, is expected to win polls there. He has worked a series of jobs including casino croupier and pushing financial products for MMM, a successor to the infamous Russian Ponzi scheme that swindled tens of thousands of people after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
In the neighboring Luhansk region, the acting head of the separatists, Leonid Pasechnik, is also expected to sail to victory. Pasechnik, 48, is a former regional chief of the Ukrainian Security Service.
Both Pushilin and Pasechnik have promised to seek tighter ties with Moscow.

CBS News: Inside a Ukrainian nationalist camp training kids to kill
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We never aim guns at people," instructor Yuri "Chornota" Cherkashin tells them. "But we don't count separatists, little green men, occupiers from Moscow, as people. So we can and should aim at them."
...
Cherkashin is a veteran of the fight against pro-Russia separatists in eastern Ukraine; he was wounded in combat and later came to lead Sokil, or Falcon, the youth wing of the Svoboda party. It is important, he says, to inculcate the nation's youth with nationalist thought, so they can battle Vladimir Putin's Russia as well as "challenges that could completely destroy" European civilization.

Among those challenges: LGBT rights, which lecturers denounce as a sign of Western decadence.

"You need to be aware of all that," said instructor Ruslan Andreiko. "All those gender things, all those perversions of modern Bolsheviks who have come to power in Europe and now try to make all those LGBT things like gay pride parades part of the education system."

Not only Ukraine :(
German right-wing extremist youth camp in Sweden
https://www.expressen.se/nyheter/german-right-wing-extremist-youth-camp-in-sweden/
Perhaps not so militant as the Svoboda party's youth camp in Ukraine but they have the same motto. “White Europe is Our Goal.”
Needless to say there are parties that have the same goal in Eastern Ukraine and Russia.
In most countries in Europe today there are now several far right parties that even have seats in the governments.

Gee I wonder why. Because Gerhard Schröder is a personal friend of Putin?
And chairman of Russian state oil giant Rosneft and head of the shareholders' committee for Nord Stream?
And "publicly supports the Russian aggression against Ukraine and on request from his Russian hosts tried again to legalize the Russian attacks on Ukraine and the annexation of the Ukrainian Crimea."

Attempt on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.
Manipulation of socially relevant information. Anti-Ukrainian propaganda.
An attempt to legalize the seizure by the Russian invaders of the Ukrainian Crimea, the justification of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.
The website is promoted by Anton Gerashchenko, advisor to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. The centre is affiliated with the government law-enforcement and intelligence agency, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Just an internal problem for the Sovereign Ukraine.

I hope they fix their problems.

Clyde, it's a question of perception which essentially depends on the point of view. You think Ukraine slowly rises, I think Ukraine slowly falls.

Ukraine falling?
Could it be because that Russia is at war with Ukraine?
That many Russian expats in Ukraine expect Russia to intervene?
That some parts of Ukraine even having pseudo-elections endorsed from Kremlin?
That Russia are beginning to seal Ukraine from the Sea of Azov?
