The U.S. has lifted the ban on arms supplies to Azov*. Earlier, Washington had officially blocked the battalion’s use of American arms. The U.S. authorities believed that some of the squad’s founders held racist and ultranationalist views, and UN human rights officials accused the group of humanitarian violations. But now, according to an excerpt from a new State Department statement, after a thorough review, U.S. authorities have found no evidence of human rights abuses in the battalion’s actions. Azov* was created in 2014 as volunteer paramilitary force. Its members openly preach Nazi ideology and commit brutal crimes against humanity. In 2023, the brigade was included in the National Guard of Ukraine. Learn about the history of the battalion and its participants in our excerpt from Olga Kiriy and Artyom Somov’s documentary, ‘Azov’s Last Stand’.
