Here is an old news article from March 27, 2018, reporting that the House had banned arms sales to the Ukraine government as long as it supported the Neo-Nazi Azov battalion. Azov had been formed after the US-led coup in 2014, and its first commander was Andriy Biletsky, who previously headed the neo-Nazi group Patriot of Ukraine.
Recall that it was an Azov Battalion (2,500 men) that recently surrendered to Russian forces at Mariupol. (Russia's official policy includes "the de-Nazification of Ukraine." Unfortunately, the US has no such policy of its own.
A little-noticed provision in the 2,232-page government spending bill passed last week bans U.S. arms from going to a controversial ultranationalist militia in Ukraine that has openly accepted neo-Nazis into its ranks.
House-passed spending bills for the past three years have included a ban on U.S. aid to Ukraine from going to the Azov Battalion, but the provision was stripped out before final passage each year….
“White supremacy and neo-Nazism are unacceptable and have no place in our world,” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), an outspoken critic of providing lethal aid to Ukraine, said in a statement to The Hill on Tuesday. “I am very pleased that the recently passed omnibus prevents the U.S. from providing arms and training assistance to the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion fighting in Ukraine….”
But a spokesman for the group has defended it, telling USA Today in 2015 that only 10 to 20 percent of recruits are neo-Nazis and that those people do not represent the official ideology of Azov.
Unfortunately, by the time this omnibus bill passed the Senate, the Neo-Nazi ban was removed, allowing the US government to continue sending arms and money to the Ukrainian Nazis who continue to defend the puppet government set up by the US State Department in 2014.
