Maz Saleem\u2019s 82-year-old father Mohammed was fatally stabbed by Pavlo Lapshyn in 2013. Lapshyn, a white supremacist from Ukraine, went on to plant bombs<\/a> outside three mosques in the Midlands before being arrested. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a police interview, he said his motive was to \u201cincrease racial conflict\u201d. The year after Lapshyn\u2019s attack, fellow neo-Nazis in Ukraine formed a militia called the Azov<\/a> battalion, in response to Russian aggression in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UK defence minister James Heappey told parliament on Thursday that<\/a> the Azov battalion \u201chas an ultra-nationalist background, with founding members espousing white nationalist and ultra-nationalist views, as well as endorsing some Anti-Semitic views.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heappey also said that \u2013 contrary to an earlier<\/a> assurance \u2013 it was now<\/a> \u201chighly likely that members of the Azov battalion have had access to UK supplied anti-tank weapons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ministry of Defence has given over 4,000<\/a> rocket launchers to Ukraine, worth an estimated \u00a380 million. Some have appeared in recent photographs<\/a> with Azov members, which Saleem finds \u201cconcerning\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Heappey said Britain has no plans<\/a> to recover unused anti-tank weapons from Ukraine after the conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n

Rocket launchers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the short-term, the weapons are likely being used to defend Mariupol from Russian invaders. The besieged city in south east Ukraine is an Azov battalion stronghold, where civilians have been repeatedly targeted by Vladimir Putin\u2019s troops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the longer-term, there is a risk that such equipment could be used for other purposes, with the EU already concerned about arms trafficking<\/a> out of Ukraine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saleem told Declassified<\/em> that UK border authorities should \u201cintercept their weapons at ports and other places of entry\u201d if far-right extremists try to smuggle firearms into Britain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She added: \u201cMore so than the weapons the Azovs possess, they have routinely invited European far-right groups to Ukraine to train in their camps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat my family found out the hard way is we cannot stop ideologies crossing borders, and the UK allowed someone with a known history of neo-Nazism and bomb-making to travel to Britain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her concerns echo comments made by Dr Chris Allen, a criminologist at Leicester University who independently advised the government on hate crime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Allen told Declassified<\/em> that the conflict in Ukraine was a \u201cfantastic opportunity\u201d for violent far-right groups in Britain \u201cto learn military skills\u201d and take their cause \u201cto the next level\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said that although the numbers of British far-right activists looking to fight in Ukraine was low, it was \u201con the radar\u201d of counter-terrorism experts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that foreign secretary Liz Truss caused alarm in security circles for saying she \u201cabsolutely\u201d supported people volunteering to join President Zelensky\u2019s international legion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey were really concerned about that because it almost gives permission,\u201d Dr Allen remarked. UK ministers have since reformulated their policy<\/a>, advising against travel to Ukraine and warning that foreign fighters could be investigated upon their return.<\/p>\n\n\n

National Action<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Right-wing extremists are becoming increasingly active in Britain and accounted for 41%<\/a> of terrorism arrests last year. Among the most dangerous groups is National Action, a neo-Nazi terrorist group with links to the Azov battalion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was banned by the Home Office in 2016 after celebrating the murder of MP Jo Cox. Dr Allen wrote an academic study<\/a> of the group for the Home Office\u2019s Commission for Countering Extremism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told Declassified<\/em> that \u201cpeople from National Action had been going over to Ukraine and training with the Azov Battalion. It\u2019s one of those things that we know has happened in the past, and now with the access to military hardware this can be a very good training ground for people that do want to take things to the next level.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A National Action organiser, Mark Jones, visited<\/a> the Azov battalion\u2019s headquarters in 2017. He was later jailed<\/a> in Britain under the Terrorism Act. Police found a photo<\/a> of him giving a Hitler salute in the execution room of Buchenwald concentration camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The presence of neo-Nazi groups in Ukraine was used by Putin in an attempt to justify his illegal invasion. However, Russian atrocities in Mariupol are only likely to increase the Azov battalion\u2019s credibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group has set up territorial defence units in other parts of Ukraine, with the country\u2019s Jewish president Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday rewarding<\/a> an Azov commander \u201cfor the defence of the hero city of Mariupol\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Far-right parties only won 2%<\/a> of the vote at Ukraine\u2019s last election in 2019. Extreme right-wing activists are also prevalent in Russia, including among Putin supporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
