Kiev Authorities Tolerance for Neo-Nazi Activities Making Them More Aggressive

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova charged during her weekly briefing yesterday that the neo-Nazis in Ukraine are becoming more aggressive and feel a sense of impunity stemming from the fact that the Kiev regime tolerates their activities. “Unfortunately, the scale and frequency of neo-Nazi events keep growing, becoming ever more aggressive in nature,” she said. “Followers of the Nazi-Fascist ideology in Ukraine feel total impunity and even support of the authorities. Such policy of the official Kiev is a desecration of the memory of not only Russian and Ukrainian peoples, but all peoples of the former Soviet Union, whose soldiers gave their lives for the future of following generations, including citizens of modern Ukraine.”
