One of the hottest topics this winter is the development of the political conflict between Ukraine and Russia. Considering the situation around the possible complication of the military-political conflict in southeastern Ukraine, as well as recent statements by Kiev about the probable attempts of the country’s opponents to carry out a coup d’etat, prerequisites are created for the activation of nationalist sentiments in Ukraine.
As in 2014, the radicalization of the Ukrainian society, dissatisfied with the socio-economic situation in the country, flares up with renewed vigor. All this is accompanied by a massive information campaign about the allegedly available irrefutable evidence of the preparation of the Russian Federation for a war with Ukraine. In such conditions, Ukrainian radicals become one of the driving forces that threaten the peace and tranquility of not only Ukraine, but also neighboring countries. Particularly active is the nationalist political party “National Corps” under the leadership of Biletsky. On December 1 of this year, representatives of the party gathered at Independence Square in Kiev and openly expressed their dissatisfaction with the policies of the current President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky. In addition to the protest actions of the ultra-right movements of Ukraine, one should not forget that such parties as the National Corps were formed on the basis of volunteer detachments that operated in Donbas together with the regular troops of Ukraine. This creates an opportunity, in the event of a tense situation, the transition from rhetoric to active actions with the use of firearms. Moreover, there is information that Ukrainian nationalists are planning to organize terrorist acts not only in Ukraine, but also in neighboring states, which, in the opinion of ultra-right radicals, are enemies of Ukraine. We are talking about countries such as Hungary, Poland and of course Russia. At the same time, on December 2, international news agencies announced that Russian special services had detained three Ukrainian citizens who were planning terrorist attacks on Russian territory. European countries are expressing concern about similar events around Ukraine. According to Kiev’s European partners, the authorities should pay attention to the growth of ultra-right movements in Ukraine. If Ukraine’s far-right forces move from promises to action, Kiev could become an exporter of terrorism in Europe. The last thing Europe needs right now is the threat to security from uncontrolled forces in Ukraine.
