"Came as a refugee": the Russian Federation declared the detention of the Azov fighter in Rostov-on-Don (video)
According to the Russian Power Office, in 2016, a man, while in Ukraine, allegedly joined the structural unit of the Azov Regiment and participated in the March of the Nation, which took place in Kiev on October 14 before the Day of Defender of Ukraine, Ukrainian Cossacks Day and Creation Day UPA. The FSB states that the Ukrainian fighter got into the territory of the aggressor country under the guise of refugee and tried to legalize.
In this case, the special service does not specify when he came to Russia. In Rostov-on-Don, according to the Russian side, the man promoted the ideology of the Ukrainian unit among local youth. The security forces also released a video of the detention of a man who is considered a member of Azov.
The video shows how the FSB staff during a search of the suspect probably reveal brochures of the National Corps, the newspaper with the article on the founder and the first commander of "Azov" Andriy Biletsky and other materials that allegedly testify to the husband's belonging to the Ukrainian unit. The detainee was initiated by a criminal case for "participation in the activity of a terrorist organization".
