Special forces shot dead a far-right Ukrainian leader early on Tuesday in an incident which is likely to raise tensions between Kiev's new interim government and restive ultra-nationalist groups.

Oleksander Muzychko – known as Sashko Bily, or Sasha the White – was killed in a shootout in the western city of Rivne, Ukraine's interior ministry said. Police tried to arrest him in a cafe when he opened fire on them, they added.

Muzychko was a prominent member of Praviy Sektor, a far-right paramilitary outfit which took part in the Maidan uprising against the then president, Viktor Yanukovych. The group has no role in government, although its leader Dmytro Yarosh has announced he intends to stand in May's presidential election. His volunteers occupy several buildings in the capital. Russia points to Praviy Sektor as evidence that Yanukovych's overthrow last month was a "fascist coup".

On Tuesday Yarosh demanded that Ukraine's interior minister, Arsen Avakov, resign over the killing. Avakov, however, refused. Unrepentant, he said his ministry would take tough measures against any "armed bandits" – whatever their political orientation – if they threatened public order.

1. Sounds Like Good News To Me, Ma'am

There are certainly some elements which have come to more prominence than they ought to have in this situation, and hand-cuffs and bullets can be useful tools in such circumstances.

2. Bye.

Fascists can not be allowed to be part of the new government.

7. too late, they already are

Right Sector leaders are deputy ministers of defense and security.
Svoboda heads it.

The new deputy prime minister, Oleksandr Sych, is from Svoboda; National Security Secretary Andriy Parubiy is a co-founder of the neo-Nazi Social-National Party, Svoboda's earlier incarnation; the deputy secretary for National Security is Dmytro Yarosh, the head of Right Sector. Chief prosecutor Oleh Makhnitsky is another Svoboda member, as are the ministers for Agriculture and Ecology (Channel 4, 3/5/14). In short, if the prospect of fascists taking power again in Europe worries you, you should be very worried about Ukraine.

Here is a video of one of a Svoboda member of parliment. Svoboda is enforcing "freedom of speech" throughout the country. This guy is on the "freedom of Speech" committe. And he still has his position.

Svoboda PM beats the head of a TV station for airing content they don't like and forces him to resign
