Regarding the "neo-Nazi elements", even the NYT now coyly admits that 
there are neo-Nazi death squads on the loose in Eastern Ukraine (the NYT 
uses slightly different terms, mind you):

"Officials in Kiev say the militias and the army coordinate their 
actions, but the militias, which count about 7,000 fighters, are angry 
and, at times, uncontrollable. One known as Azov, which took over the 
village of Marinka, flies a neo-Nazi symbol resembling a Swastika as its 
flag."

That neo-Nazi symbol is called the wolf's hook. It is banned in Germany.
