"New Page in Division History": "Azov" confirmed the withdrawal

The brigade stated that they had been inspected by US law. However, they did not specify whether they have already received and used American weapons. The 12th Special Purpose Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine has the right to receive and use military assistance from the United States. This was reported by the Azov press service on Tuesday, June 11. The brigade fighters were inspected, which is envisaged by US law.

According to the military, this was the result of long and painstaking work, which Azov servicemen systematically conducted in the plane of struggle with successful results of Russian propaganda. "Lies about" Azov ", which the Kremlin regime has spread in the event for years, has been a devastating blow today," the message reads.

The military believes that receiving Western weapons and training from the United States will not only increase the combat capability of Azov, but also facilitate the preservation of the lives and health of the team. "This is a new page in the history of our unit. " Azov "becomes even more powerful, even more professional and even more dangerous to the occupiers," the brigade said. At the same time, the Azovs did not inform whether the US weapons have already been received and used.

We will remind, on June 10, The Washington Post reported that the United States made a ban on the supply of Azov weapons. The brigade soldiers were banned from using US weapons about ten years ago. In the US, they decided that some of the founders of Azov allegedly professed racist, xenophobic and ultranationalist views. On April 19, the commander of the 12th Brigade of the Special Forces "Azov" Denis Prokopenko called on Washington to cancel a ban on weapons.
