Today, the dangers of military escalation are beyond description.<\/em><\/p>\n

What is now happening in Ukraine has serious geopolitical implications. It could lead us into a World War III Scenario<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

It is important that a peace process be initiated with a view to preventing escalation.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Global Research does not support Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine. <\/i><\/p>\n

The history of this war must be\u00a0understood. <\/i><\/p>\n

The bombing and shelling led by Ukraine\u2019s Armed Forces directed against the people of Donbass started eight years ago, resulting in the destruction of residential areas and more than 10,000 civilian casualties.<\/i><\/p>\n

A \u00a0bilateral Peace Agreement is required.<\/em><\/p>\n

NATO is sending weapons and trainers to help neo-Nazis in Ukraine\u2019s white-supremacist Azov movement fight Russia. This follows numerous reports of Western government support for Ukrainian far-right extremists.<\/em><\/p>\n

The US-led NATO military alliance is sending weapons to neo-Nazi extremists in Ukraine as they battle Russian soldiers.<\/p>\n

Since Russia invaded Ukraine<\/a> on February 24, the US government has flooded the country with arms, authorizing sending $350 million worth of military equipment<\/a>\u00a0to Kiev.<\/p>\n

In less than a week in late February and early March, the United States and other NATO member states transported more than 17,000 anti-tank weapons<\/a>, including Javelin missiles, over the borders of Poland and Romania into Ukraine, the New York Times reported.<\/p>\n

Washington has also sent Kiev 2,000 stinger anti-aircraft missiles<\/a>. And the Joe Biden administration gave the \u201cgreen light\u201d to NATO countries to send fighter jets to Ukraine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Western governments have invited hardened right-wing militants from around the world to travel to Ukraine to join the fight against Russia \u2013 just as they did in Afghanistan in the 1980s, in a strategy that gave birth to al-Qaeda and the Taliban.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, as NATO creates an insurgency in Ukraine, some of the fighters receiving these arms are white-supremacist fascists.<\/p>\n

The anti-Russian activist media platform NEXTA tweeted on March 8 that NATO countries had shipped Next Generation Light Anti-tank Weapon (NLAW) guided missiles and sent instructors to the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Azov regiment was the first to learn about new weaponry,\u201d admitted NEXTA, a Western-backed Belarusian opposition outlet.<\/p>\n

Azov is an explicitly neo-Nazi extremist group.<\/p>\n
