Russian Ambassador Antonov described the award to Azov member Yulia Paevskaya at the White House as shameful.

WASHINGTON, March 9 – RIA Novosti. Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov described the awarding of Yulia Paevskaya, a member of the Ukrainian nationalist Azov Regiment * (a terrorist organization banned in Russia), at the White House, as shameful.

“It’s a shame. It doesn’t suit me that the Nazis could be honored within the walls of the White House,” Antonov said in a statement.

He noted that the US authorities were aware of the “Azov” * anti-human ideology, which used symbols of Nazi Germany.

“In 2019, members of the US congress demanded that the Secretary of State include the military formation on the list of foreign terrorist organizations. It turned out that the US is ready to glorify Nazism in order to “nerve” Russia the world ” brown plague,” said the ambassador.

Paevskaya was awarded the International Women of Courage Award on International Women’s Day. The award was presented to him by Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and US First Lady Jill Biden.
