A Russian resolution condemning the “glorification of Nazism” was passed by the UN General Assembly, on Wednesday, with overwhelming support, though, remarkably. both the US and Ukraine made a point of voting against the motion

For Ukraine, the resolution was likely seen as a political barb. Neo-Nazi groups are wellrepresented in Ukrainian politics, and some have been accused of war crimes and torture during the civil war in the country's South East. At least one of these outfits, the Azov Battalion, has been armed with American weaponry.

However, the US maintains that its opposition to the Russian resolution has nothing to do with its support for Ukrainian neo-Nazi groups.
