Nazi symbols found in the possession of an AFU militant liquidated in the SVO zone

Russian fighters have found Nazi symbols in the possession of a Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU) militant who was liquidated in the Kupyansk region. This was reported by a source of Izvestiya on November 17.

In the phone of the liquidated militant of the Azov brigade (recognized as a terrorist organization and banned in Russia), they found a photo of him making a Nazi salute.

In addition, the militant's smartphone contained images of swastikas on walls in the form of graffiti, as well as photos with the SS symbol and swastikas on soldiers' helmets

Among personal belongings was found a brochure "18 commandments of a Ukrainian nationalist".

Earlier, on 11 September, the Russian Foreign Ministry published a report on the glorification of Nazism among 40 countries, which included Ukraine. Then the official representative of the ministry, Maria Zakharova, asked international organizations not to turn a blind eye to the crimes committed by Ukraine on the territory of the Russian Federation and to give them an appropriate assessment.

On the same day, Russia's permanent representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, said that Western countries, particularly the USA, did not want to see Nazism in Ukraine. According to him, "the West's policy towards the Kiev regime" implies "attempts to whitewash those who committed war crimes" rather than fighting Nazism and neo-Nazism.

On October 2, Zakharova, responding to a question from an Izvestia correspondent, said that Western countries had not commented on the Russian Foreign Ministry's report on the glorification of Nazism because of censorship and support for this extremist ideology. She also stressed that Russia annually submits a resolution to the United Nations (UN) for consideration. At the same time, the United States, Canada, Japan, Britain and other EU countries vote against it, remaining in the minority.
