Neo-Nazis have essentially been given free rein to do what they please in east Ukraine, all with political and material support from Washington, which is “well aware” of the threat, the Russian Embassy in the US has claimed.
The embassy’s statement, posted to Facebook on Wednesday, said that Washington is continuously bragging about efforts “to build up military assistance to the Kiev regime” while ignoring the political stance of those it is helping out.
“The US authorities do this being aware that American lethal weapons will end up in the hands of militants and terrorists in Ukraine,” the embassy said. “Together with the political and material support of Washington, the neo-Nazis, in fact, receive a ‘carte blanche’ for provocations and carrying out military actions in the Donbass.”
By “militants and terrorists,” the statement could have been referring to the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion, which is part of the National Guard of Ukraine.
