Moskva ønsker at minde Washington om, at andre formationer af Ukraines Nationalgarde ikke er bedre end 'Azov'-bataljonen. Dette blev udtalt af den officielle repræsentant for det russiske udenrigsministerium, Alexander Lukashevich, i forbindelse med forbuddet mod tildeling af midler til træning af 'Azov', som blev støttet af Repræsentanternes Hus i den amerikanske kongres.
'Det tog mere end et år for den amerikanske kongres at indse, at denne enhed er en flok direkte nazister, der praler med nazistiske SS-troppers emblemer og opfører sig som nazisterne på det besatte område. Men bedre sent end aldrig', sagde den. diplomat.
Det næste logiske skridt - er endelig at erkende, at sidste års kup i Kiev, stærkt støttet af Washington, blev udført af de samme nazistiske bøllers hænder.
Kommentar: Delvist oversat af Sott.net fra Russian Foreign Ministry to U.S.: Kiev National Guard just as bad as Azov Nazis
"Obviously, the other formations of the National guard of Ukraine are no better than "Azov", — he noted.
Earlier on Friday the decision of the House of Representatives of the US Congress was commented by the Commissioner of the Russian Foreign Ministry on issues of human rights, democracy and rule of law, Konstantin Dolgov.
"The U.S. Congress banned aid to neo-Nazi battalion "Azov". It's time for Washington to open its eyes: neo-Nazism permeates all government and power structures of Kiev", — the diplomat wrote on his Twitter account.
The House of Representatives of the U.S. Congress on Thursday passed a bill to provide the Ministry of Defense appropriations for the next fiscal year, separately endorsing the amendment, which prohibits the expenditure of funds for training of fighters of the Ukrainian volunteer battalion "Azov".

Kommentar: Yep, it took over a year for the U.S. to admit the obvious. But it's not as if they just found out. They've known all along who they've been supporting. The U.S. has no moral qualms with funding and supporting Nazis or Islamic extremists. They've been doing it for years, and they'll keep on doing it. But when the pressure gets a little too hot, and the obvious becomes so obvious as to be undeniable, they'll throw the dog a bone. Thus, Conyers's amendments. Don't expect Kiev to become any less fascist, however...
