According to Antonov’s comment on the Russian embassy’s Facebook page, the US authorities, according to the ambassador, began to realize the threat posed by Azov.

“Congress, apparently following the US special services, is beginning to realize the threat posed by Azov and the Americans who contacted it. It is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore this danger, ”he said.

Earlier, members of the US Congress, headed by Max Rose, appealed to the State Department with a request to recognize the Ukrainian volunteer regiment "Azov" as a foreign terrorist organization.

Later, the regiment's leadership expressed the opinion that such a decision is an information attack on Ukraine.
