UKRAINE UNDER THREAT FROM FAR-RIGHT EXTREMISM, REPORT REVEALS

Ukraine has a growing problem with far-right extremists, a new report revealed Wednesday.
Far-right extremist groups have existed on the margins of society since Ukraine’s independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. But a new report by Washington, D.C.-based think tank Freedom House suggests that these groups have recently become more active and are hurting the country’s fledgling democracy. Far-right extremists still lack the popular support needed to be a meaningful force in organized politics, but law enforcement officials in Ukraine are allowing them to threaten civil society groups and operate with impunity, according to the report.
