The Russian Foreign Ministry said that “great efforts are being made to hide from the international community the Nazi essence of the policy of the Kyiv authorities, and the image of neo-Nazis in the form of fighters of the radical national Azov battalion and other similar Ukrainian extremist groups is publicly whitewashed.”
