Right Sector is a far-right political party:
"Right Sector (Ukrainian: Правий сектор, Pravyi Sektor) is a far-right Ukrainian nationalist political party that originated in November 2013 as a paramilitary confederation at the Euromaidan revolt in Kiev, where its street fighters fought against riot police.[8][9] The coalition became a political party on 22 March 2014, at which time it claimed to have perhaps 10,000 members.[10][11]"

Right Sector is anti-gay anti-women's rights:
"Moral issues
According to historian and political scientist Andreas Umland Right Sector is ultra-Christian conservative and radical nationalist.[3]
On 2 June 2015 the party sent an open letter to Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko asking him to cancel a pride parade to be held two days later citing "danger of provocations".[113] The letter also quoted Major Archbishop of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church Sviatoslav Shevchuk stating "Ukraine rejects the false values as gender ideology".[114] The letter also claimed Europeans still have an ambiguous attitude about "LGBT" stating "in Poland abortion is banned in general, not to mention same-sex marriages".[114] In a Facebook post Right Sector leader Yarosh claimed the gay pride parade "spit on the graves of those who died and defended Ukraine"; and he promised that the group's members will "put aside other business in order to prevent those who hate family, morality, and human nature, from executing their plans. We have other things to do, but well have to deal with this evil too," he wrote.[115] Right Sector spokesman Artem Skoropadskyi stated about the pride parade "gay propaganda is destructive and doing harm to our Christian nation, we cant allow that".[115] The pride parade was held; during the march five policemen were injured in scuffles after unidentified people attacked the rally with smoke bombs and stones.[116] Right Sector denounced the violence; Skoropadskyi stated about it "We can't beat weak persons like gays that's a disgrace!".[3]"

Right Sector has some disconcerting groups as members:
"Component groups
Academic and media sources have described some of Right Sector's constituent groups as nationalist,[19][117] ultranationalist,[39][118] neofascist,[42] neo-Nazi,[39][100] right-wing,[42] far right,[101][119] ultraconservative,[40] or paramilitary. A plurality or majority of Right Sector's members belong to street fighting soccer-fan clubs[43][44][120] or have no specific affiliation."

Right Sector believes Europe is anti-christian and that NATO is against Uktraine:
"Attitude towards Europe
Right Sector's website says that its members distrust the "imperial ambitions" of both Russia and the West.[111] Yarosh told Spiegel Online that anti-Christian organizations are in active operation in the EU and that the European Commission (rather than the member nation) has control of lifestyles such as gay marriage.[112] He does not see Europe or NATO as a potential partner and believes that they are part of a coalition against Ukraine.[112]"

In other words, Right Sector is a festering right-wing cesspool.
