Ukrainian nationalists in annual march for Defenders' Day

(14 Oct 2018) Up to ten thousand supporters of nationalist groups in Ukraine took part in an annual march on Sunday to commemorate Defenders' Day and the 76th anniversary of the creation of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA). Supporters of nationalist groups, including the right-wing National Corp party and others, walked together through the streets of the capital Kiev, to demonstrate their unity and their readiness to defend the country. Many lit flares and smoke bombs during the march which ended at the city's European Square, where Andriy Biletsky, leader of National Corp party, addressed the crowd. Defenders Day is a national holiday in Ukraine, decreed in 2015 by President Petro Poroshenko amid the Russian annexation of Crimea and a pro-Russian insurgency in Donbas in 2014. October 14th is also a Christian religious holiday.
