H.E. Mr. Maxim Peshkov:

I am speaking about the first steps of the Rada and then the provision on Nazism. Unfortunately, it is not only in that country that pro-Nazi feelings are becoming more and more active. We have seen the open and public parades of those people who joined the Galician division of the Waffen-SS, and people with portraits of Bandera, the famous Nazi criminal. It is a real threat not only for Russians but for Ukrainians who do not agree with all these things and do not want to live under a fascist regime. Of course, I will never say that all of those in government are fascists - not at all - but the Rada group including Svoboda and Right Sector are armed and are controlling the situation in the Rada and trying to control the situation in eastern parts of Ukraine. The reaction of the people living there is natural.
