The Supreme Court of Russia recognized the Ukrainian Azov battalion as a “terrorist organization” and banned its activities on the territory of the Russian Federation.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called Russia’s decision to recognize the Azov Regiment as a terrorist organization absurd. On Wednesday, August 3, the Ukrainian leader said in his video message.
He noted that the Russian Federation began to realize the inevitable recognition of their country as a terrorist state, because after all the horrors committed by the Russian army, “not a single terrorist organization can claim of primacy over terror.”
“Russia is definitely number one among terrorists. And it certainly deserves legal consequences, especially, with the decisions of the United States and other actors in the world.
And that is why a new propaganda activity started from Moscow. They suddenly decided to identify the Azov people as terrorists, although when a terrorist state does this, it is clearly absurd,” Zelensky said.
It will be recalled that on August 2, the Supreme Court of Russia recognized the Azov Regiment as a “terrorist organization.” With its decision, the Russian side could slow down the entire exchange process.
For participation in Azov, the Russians provided criminal liability: the organizers could face punishment up to life imprisonment, and ordinary participants – up to 20 years, and the property of the organization or branch it is subject to confiscation.
Remember, the Azov regiment in response called on the United States and other countries to recognize the current Russia as a terrorist state.
