Vyacheslav Volodin, the Chairman of the State Duma (Russian Parliament) has called on the US Congress to impeach Joe Biden:

“The US Congress must end the double standards and hold Joe Biden responsible”, Volodin wrote on his official Telegram channel. “There’s no way around it if the United States wants to obey the rule of law.” 

According to Volodin, in 2017, the US Congress passed a bill prohibiting supplying the Ukrainian Azov battalion with American arms, since Azov was designated a neo-Nazi organization. Azov uses the same emblem as Adolf Hitler’s Second SS Panzer Division Das Reich.

“White supremacy and neo-Nazism are unacceptable and have no place in our world,” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), said in 2018, according to The Hill. “I am very pleased that the recently passed omnibus (bill) prevents the U.S. from providing arms and training assistance to the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion fighting in Ukraine.” 

In a January 2018 report, the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab confirmed that Azov Battalion was a recipient of US arms, according to China’s Global Times.

Since its foundation in 2014, the autonomous militia unit within the Ukrainian army has been a haven for far-right radicals from all over the world, including the USA. The defense of the city of Mariupol is largely in the hands of the Azov battalion. Strangely, this fact is hardly ever mentioned in the MSM, who are usually desperate to find neo-Nazis among MAGA supporters.

Now, Joe Biden has promised Ukraine $800 million in military aid, including 800 anti-air missiles and 9,000 anti-tank rockets. The package includes Switchblade attack drones, Biden said. During the botched Afghanistan withdrawal, Biden wiped out an entire Afghan family, including 7 children, with a drone attack following the horrific terror attack that left 13 servicemen and 190 Afghans dead.

“It’s obvious that this American-supplied weaponry will reach the Azov battalion as well,” Volodin said, who are already known for their extensive use of high-tech drones for propaganda videos.

Azov battalion’s “well-oiled PR machine has been producing Ukraine’s best-quality war videos with camera drones perfectly capturing the attacks”, the Daily Telegraph writes. “Ukraine has happily used Azov’s videos as visual proof of the country’s counter-attacks on the invading army.”

Volodin called this fact “ample reason to impeach Biden, since he has broken American law.”
