US Ready to Glorify Nazism in Maniacal Desire to 'Denigrate and Abolish' Russia: Ambassador Antonov
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The United States seems willing to glorify Nazism in its maniacal desire to denigrate and abolish Russia, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov said in a statement on Thursday commenting on the visit of the soldiers of Ukraine's Azov nationalistic regiment (terrorist organization, banned in Russia).
"We have seen media reports of meetings between militants of the Azov battalion with students from leading US universities. Representatives of a neo-Nazi paramilitary organization spoke to the students at Stanford University," Antonov said. "One gets the impression that in the maniacal desire to 'denigrate and abolish' Russia, the United States is even ready to glorify Nazism, against which the peoples of our countries fought heroically during World War II."
Earlier in the month, the
Azov militants participated at a Stanford University event that was attended by former US Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul. Last month a delegation of Azov militants met with several US lawmakers and officials in Washington.
