Claim: CIA trained Neo-Nazi Ukrainian Azov recruits
Funding and support for the Azov battalion provided by Canada and the CIA - article in Israel 365 News:
Funding from the US was banned by Congress in 2014 due to the Azov Battalion’s white supremacist ideology, but this ban was overturned in 2015.
In 2015 Interior Minister Arsen Avakov announced that the Azov Regiment would be among the first units to be trained by United States Army troops in their Operation Fearless Guardian training mission. The six-month training was carried out by paratroopers from the 173rd Airborne Brigade Support Battalion and funded under the Congress-approved Global Contingency Security Fund.
The report also mentions a 2015 UN Report into the Azov battalion and the human rights situation in Ukraine.
There is a grievous list of human rights infringements.
These are the people our governments are supporting.
