Arseniy Fedosiuk is only 31, but he’s already fought the Russian invaders for a decade as a sergeant in the #Azov Regiment. After the full-scale invasion, Fedosiuk witnessed firsthand the brutal destruction of #Mariupol and then fought in the famous Azovstal steelworks siege.

#Russia is turning the Sea of ​​#Azov into a swamp with mines.

The #Mariupol City Council reported the other day that the occupiers are destroying the natural ecosystem of the Sea of ​​Azov and the rivers of the region. The sea is polluted by sewage, and the #Kalchyk River has become shallow and may simply dry up. As a result of these actions fish die in the sea, and dead dolphins are washed ashore.

The U.S. says Ukraine’s “Azov Brigade” is separate from the Nazi-linked “#Azov Battalion.” The unit itself says they’re the same.

A military court in #Moscow on June 20 sentenced schoolteacher Daniil #Klyuka from the western city of #Lipetsk to 20 years in prison on charges of high treason and assisting terrorist activities, which he denies. Klyuka was arrested in February 2023 after investigators accused him of transferring 20,000 rubles ($237) to the #Azov Assault Brigade of #Ukraine's National Guard.

Here's what we're reading today:

#US lifted ban on weapons to #Azov Battalion, a unit famous for resisting Russian siege on #Mariupol.

Ban was based on the Leahy Act, which restricts aid based on human rights violations.

A recent State Dept inspection found "no evidence" of these violations.

The Washington Post · U.S. lifts weapons ban on Ukrainian military unitBy Michael Birnbaum

The #Biden administration will allow a Ukrainian military unit with a checkered past to use #US weaponry, the State Department said Monday, having lifted a ban imposed years ago amid concerns in #Washington about the group’s origins.

The #Azov Brigade, known for its tenacious but ultimately unsuccessful defense of the #Azovstal steel mill in Mariupol early in #Russia’s full-scale invasion of #Ukraine, is regarded as a particularly effective fighting force.

Interesting that "political commentators" like you @randahl are trying to escalate nuclear war in support of nazis battalions like #Azov, #Centuria & #Tornado. Those #fascists still salute #StepanBandera with their right hand raised like the German #nazis did.

I hope you don't mind if your hometown gets the first strike. It won't take long for the rest of the world to enjoy snowboard rides in the nuclear winter.

Most likely you think "The Man Who Saved The World" was Ronald Reagan, don't you?
