Link The US has removed restrictions on the transfer of American weapons and training to a high-profile Ukrainian military unit with a chequered past. The move will help the Azov Brigade, among Ukraine’s most effective and popular fighting units, move beyond its reputation as a far-right movement – a perception its commanders have been trying […]

In fact, from all reports I’ve seen- they’ve outright rejected it. Yet the US insists on playing their perception management games, especially aimed at the domestic populace in the run up to an election. New Arab Russia and China, which hold veto powers in the UN Security Council, raised concerns on Thursday with a US […]
