Sky News reports their 'expert' Michael Clarke on the situation in Pokrovsk (Ukraine):

Analysis: Ukraine has 50/50 chance of holding Pokrovsk

Clarke said Ukraine believes around 1,000 Russian fighters have infiltrated into central Pokrovsk in small groups.

"If the Russians can hold these islands of positions and get some armour into them and solidify it, they could force the Ukrainians to withdraw," he explained.

He added: "However, the Ukrainians have devoted the Azov Brigade, which is probably their best fighting brigade. They've already put them into Pokrovsk and held it, and they look as if they're putting in as many of the elite forces as they can spare from elsewhere."

50/50 seems like an ass-covering measure rather than something they can have any certainty about being miles from the front-line.

Clarke neglects to mention that the 'elite' Azov Brigade is the far-right, neo-Nazi unit that was incorporated into the Ukrainian army after pressure from the West to downplay the influence of the far-right in Ukraine.

The world remembers these kinds of elite units, like the Nazi Waffen-SS who wreaked horrible destruction and atrocities in Ukraine (often aided by Ukrainians) against Jews, Poles, Russians and Ukrainians in WW2, whose slogans and symbols have been adopted and adapted by the Ukrainian far-right.

It's a mystery why Sky bangs on about the influence of Elon Musk and the far-right in the UK but ignores or smiles benevolently on much worse behaviour in Ukraine. 

Behaviour that got plenty of people murdered in the lead-up to the 2022 invasion - just watch Paul Moreira's documentary The Masks of the Revolution or read Benoit Paré's book What I Saw in Ukraine.

What Sky should be doing is using the real-world example of the behaviour and rise to power of the far-right in Ukraine to warn people in the UK what could happen here if 'big brother' decided to unseat our government in the name of 'democracy'.
