Russia-Ukraine live news: Moscow brands Azov ‘terrorist’ group
![]()
Russia’s Supreme Court designates the Azov regiment — which has far-right and ultranationalist roots — a “terrorist” group, allowing for lengthy jail terms for its members, Russian news agencies have reported.
The court ruled to “recognise the Ukrainian paramilitary unit Azov as a terrorist organisation and to ban its activities on the territory of the Russian Federation,” the judge said, as reported by the TASS state news agency, adding that the decision takes immediate effect.
The regiment, which has far-right and ultranationalist roots, has been one of the most prominent Ukrainian military formations fighting against Russia in eastern Ukraine. Russia has regularly cited Azov in support of its assertion that Ukraine is controlled by “fascists”.
