Azov Brigade to be allowed to use US weapons

On Monday, the United States State Department reversed a ten-year-old restriction on the use of their weapons by the Azov Brigade of Ukraine after determining it has not committed human rights violations. The Azov Brigade is known in Ukraine for participating in the defense of Mariupol in 2022. It has been accused by Russia of being a far-right, ultranationalist, extremist, racist, and neo-Nazi group. The Azov Brigade is currently designated as the 12th Special Forces Brigade in the Ukrainian National Guard.
