CEP non-resident fellow Kacper Rekawek quoted: "'Het nieuwe Azov', zo noemt Kacper Rekawek de 3deAanvalsbrigade dan ook. Rekawek is een Poolsewetenschapper die van geen greintje sympathie voorRusland kan worden verdacht. Hij is een autoriteit op vlakvan extremisme en liet zich zeker niet door Moskou leidenbij het schrijven van zijn recentste rapport. Daarin vermeldthij dat er ook moslims en een Afro-Amerikaan bij dat nieuweAzov strijden — en die brigade dus maar moeilijk integraalals extreemrechts bestempeld kan worden. Maar hij ziet ooktekenen dat de leiding die nog steeds probeert te gebruikenvoor ideologisch gewin."

Extremists: Their Words. Their Actions.

In Their Own Words:

We reiterate once again that the brigades will directly target US bases across the region in case the US enemy commits a folly and decides to strike our resistance fighters and their camps [in Iraq].
