The Azov brigade, now a unit within Ukraine's National Guard, hailed the move, saying Russia's "lies... received a devastating blow".
Moscow condemned the decision, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov saying the US was "even prepared to flirt with neo-Nazis" to suppress Russia.

No apologies necessary. I hope you don’t think my comment in post 8 was directed at you.
It was a reaction to the BBC and their assuming Nazis are far right.
thanks for posting this...
yet another terrorist act by this illegitimate Biden regime.
Did Biden do this with an EO?????
would that be legit since the ban was passed by both houses of congress???
