Azov Battalion, Ukrainian Far-Right Group, Protest To Demand Citizenship For Foreign Members

KIEV, UKRAINE - JUNE 04: Soldiers, veterans and supporters of Azov Battalion hold a banner that reads, 'Citizenship for Volunteers - they have paid for it with their blood' at a protest at the Ukrainian parliament to demand Ukrainian citizenship for their foreign volunteer fighters, many of whom are citizens of Belarus and Russia and will be imprisoned if forced to return to their home countries on June 4, 2019 in Kiev, Ukraine. The Azov Battalion is accused of holding ultra right-wing political views but has also been one of the most effective fighting forces in Ukraines five year long war against pro-Russian separatists in the east of the country.
