Andriy Biletsky (b. 1979) was the first commander of the Azov Battalion and a co-founder of the nationalist movement Socialist National party. He is presently the leader of the Ukrainian political party National Corps. From 2014 until 2019 Biletsky was a member of Ukrainian parliament.

In 2010, Biletsky said that the Ukrainian nation's mission is to "lead the white races of the world in a final crusade...against Semite-led Untermenschen (Subhumans)". Biletsky is also known as White Leader,[1] and in 2013 he wrote a brochure called The Word of the White Leader.[2] Since 2014, the BBC,[3] The Independent[4] and The Moscow Times[5] have described Biletsky as a white supremacist.

During the 2014 U.S.-backed Euromaidan coup, members of the Biletsky's Patriot of Ukraine were among the founders of the notorious fascist Right Sector on 28 November 2013. On 12 March 2014, Biletsky became a party leader in special operations for the "Right Sector - East," which included such regions as Poltava, Kharkiv, Donetsk, and Luhansk oblasts. On 5 May 2014, in Berdyansk Biletsky became a founder of the Azov Battalion (as a territorial battalion of patrol service), and its first commander.

On 13 June 2014, Biletsky led his detachment in the First Battle of Mariupol. On 2 August 2014, Biletsky, holding a rank of Major of Militsiya, was awarded the Order For Courage (III degree) by the newly U.S.-installed Maidan regime and promoted to lieutenant colonel of police on 15 August 2014.

On 10 December 2014, Biletsky announced that the Patriot of Ukraine suspended its activities as a political organization due to the Donbas war, and would be absorbed primarily into the Azov Battalion.

On July 29, 2022 Reuters reported the prisoner-of-war camp at Elenovka was hit by a U.S.-built HIMAR,[6] causing the deaths of 40 prisoners and 13 guards and prison employees.[7] At least one hundred other prisoners were injured. Sources reported that captured Ukrainian prisoners-of-war were giving up much critical information on U.S./Ukraine/NATO operations and illegal weapon's transfers, including arms to Kurdish terrorists in Syria to be used against NATO member Turkiye.[8] Ukraine forces on the battlefield attempting to surrender have been documented to have been executed by Ukrainian commanders. A bill was introduced into the Ukrainian parliament granting legal authority to Ukrainian commanders to execute Ukrainian soldiers who wanted to surrender. Morale was reported to have fallen in recent weeks among Azov Battalion detainees at Elenovka as they realized the Kyiv regime was not negotiating their exchange for Russian POWs, and they began giving up more information in exchange for more lenient sentences for war crimes. The Pentagon claimed the Ukrainian strike on its own personnel was 'accidental'.[9][10] Prominent Ukrainian neo-Nazi Andriy Biletsky vowed revenge against "whoever did this."[11]
