The Ukrainian government installed by the coup has been recognized by the Western powers. It includes several members of explicitly Nazi organizations, including two leaders who have distinguished themselves by fabricating false images of violence and torture aimed to convince Western public opinion of the cruelty of the democratically elected president, Viktor Yanukovych. The Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine openly acknowledges his ties with Al-Qaeda.
The coup organized by the CIA in Kiev brought to power a government representing the oligarchs and extremist groups. Its members comprise several Nazi leaders. This is the first time since the Second World War that politicians referring directly to the Third Reich have come to power in Europe.
Two of its members claim to have links with the Islamic Emirate of the North Caucasus, an organization affiliated with al-Qaeda, according to the United Nations. One of them has left to fight against Russia within this context.
Three other members were involved in propaganda operations, posturing as victims of the democratic regime of Viktor Yanukovych.
Andriy Parubiy (Андрій Парубій)
Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council (body which presides over the Ministry of Defence and the Armed Forces).

During the war in Georgia (2008), he organized the siege of Sevastopol and was promoted vice admiral of the fleet.
