I haven't seen any white supermacy action

The red/black or yellow/blue flag "hand symbol" flags of Svoboda, the national socialists, are present in almost every single image from the protests. I don't feel convinced that you haven't noticed that.

UPA were involved in anti-Semitic pogroms.

I am aware of what anarcho-syndicalist flags and symbols look like. In an Ukrainan context, and especially in the context of the Euromaidan, my reading of events strongly suggest to me that these are UPA flags, not anarcho-syndicalist ones.
