The spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry pointed out that the former US ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul is the person behind of the trip of the Ukrainian neo-Nazi militants.
The spokeswoman for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zajárova, spoke this Thursday about the visit of the members of the neo-Nazi Azov battalion to the US, stating that it was the former US ambassador in Moscow Michael McFaul
“McFaul organized, well, at least he did everything possible to make it happen, he supported the trip to the US of militants from the Ukrainian pro-Nazi Azov battalion”, Zakharova declared. “This person, who is somehow associated with diplomacy and is now engaged in consulting, teaching, etc., is the one behind Azov’s trip to the USA
According to Zajárova, “the demonstrative and undisguised tribute to this rabble leaves in ‘shock’ for one reason only: they kill Russians”. “There are no other reasons,” the spokeswoman said. “These circumstances in the eyes of the American elite are an indulgence for any crime and a justification for the unlimited supply of weapons to the regime in Zelensky, the kyiv regime”, he concluded.
