(Ken Silva, Headline USA) The Financial Times reported Tuesday that neo-Nazi terrorists used U.S. armored vehicles to attack Russia’s Belgorod region on Monday.
Denis Nikitin, leader of the Russian Volunteer Corps—a neo-Nazi militia that, contrary to its name, is anti-Russia—reportedly said his fighters who attacked Belgorod were in possession of U.S. armored vehicles and several Humvees.
Ukrainian intelligence officials have reportedly acknowledged that they cooperate with the Russian Volunteer Corps and another group that launched the assault, the Freedom of Russia Legion.
“Of course, we communicate with them. Of course, we share some information,” Andriy Chernyak, a Ukrainian military intelligence official, told Financial Times. “And, one might say, we even cooperate.”
The neo-Nazi assault was reportedly still ongoing as of Wednesday.

“On Tuesday afternoon, Russia’s Ministry of Defense said it had pushed the fighters back over the border, but people who claim to represent the groups maintained that they were continuing attacks in Russia,” the New York Times reported Tuesday.
This latest attack from Nikitin and the Russian Volunteer Corps follows another attack they launched on Bryansk, Russia in March.
The attacks have fueled questions about the extent to which the Biden administration is backing Nazis in Ukraine. While Democrat-friendly media outlets dismiss these claims as Russian propaganda, the role neo-Nazis play in Ukrainian politics is well documented.
Even the Biden administration’s own Homeland Security Department warned last May that white supremacists in the U.S. were joining the neo-Nazi groups in Ukraine.
“Ukrainian nationalist groups including the Azov Movement are actively recruiting racially or ethnically motivated violent extremist-white supremacists to join various neo-Nazi volunteer battalions in the war against Russia,” the DHS bulletin said.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., has introduced legislation that would investigate whether U.S. tax dollars are funding Ukrainian neo-Nazi terrorists.
Greene’s proposed “Resolution of Inquiry into Taxpayer Dollars Spent in Ukraine” would audit exactly where the $113 billion in U.S. aid has gone.
Co-sponsors of this bill include Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky.; Matt Rosendale, R-Mt.; Clay Higgins, R-La.; Matt Gaetz, R-Fla.; Chip Roy, R-Texas; Tim Burchett, R-Tenn.; Mary Miller, R-Ill.,; and Paul Gosar, R-Ariz.
