The incident reportedly took place during a match between the football clubs Dynamo Kiev and Veres Rivne<\/strong><\/p>\n A video showing a crowd of Ukrainian soccer fans repeatedly performing a Nazi salute during their team\u2019s match against a rival club has been published<\/a> by a Ukrainian outlet Strana.ua. The short clip shows numerous men, mostly dressed in black, repeatedly chanting: \u201cGlory to the nation!\u201d<\/em> and \u201cUkraine!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The people in the video were identified by Strana.ua as \u201cultras\u201d<\/em> of the Veres Rivne football club. Photos and videos showing \u201cthe same people wearing the same clothes\u201d<\/em> were published on the social media pages of club fans, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n Veres hosted Dynamo Kiev on Saturday with the home club suffering a 0:1 defeat. There have been no reports of the Ukrainian authorities reacting in any way to the video showing Nazi salutes that has emerged on social media.<\/p>\n Moscow has long condemned Kiev\u2019s elevation of Nazi collaborators to national hero status and has accused Western governments of deliberately ignoring continued neo-Nazi activity in Ukrainian ranks.<\/p>\n In June, French outlet Le Monde reported that Nazi symbols were prevalent in the Ukrainian military. The newspaper identified nearly 350 Ukrainian troops posting neo-Nazi imagery online, including Nazi salutes, swastika tattoos, Black Sun emblems, and Totenkopf insignias as part of its investigation.<\/p>\n
