Протести в САЩ срещу американската подкрепа за украинските неонацисти

A group of demonstrators rallied in New York, Wednesday, to protest against US involvement in Ukraine and the assassination of Alexsei Mozgovoy, commander of the Lugansk People's Republic's (LNR/LPR) 'Ghost' battalion. Mozgovoy was killed in an ambush along with seven other people on the road between Perevalsk and Lugansk on May 24. A pro-Kiev militia known as the 'Shadows' claimed responsibility for the attack. Protesters held pictures of Mozgovoy, chanted and gave speeches condemning Washington's support of Ukrainian "neo-nazis" and the Kiev government. According to activist Gregory Butterfield, "US troops are training neo-nazis in Ukraine to kill civilians in Donbass while racist police murder black and brown people from New York to Baltimore to Ferguson." The protest was organised by the International Action Centre on the same day that Alexsei Mozgovoy's funeral was held in the city of Alchevsk in the Lugansk region of eastern Ukraine.
