An Azov member described the meeting as a “friendly and open dialogue.”
Canada’s embassy in Kyiv, Ukraine, hosted a meeting with personnel affiliated with the infamous Azov Brigade this summer, documents obtained by The Maple reveal.
The Canadian military has for years claimed it will not support Azov or any of its affiliates due to their far-right ideology and neo-Nazi links, but the documents show Azov members met with the Canadian Defence Attaché in late July for what one Azov contact called a “friendly and open dialogue.”
Global Affairs Canada (GAC), which released the documents requested by The Maple through an access to information request, censored details about what was discussed during the meeting.
Despite releasing the documents, GAC refused to answer questions from The Maple about the meeting, deferring all questions to the Department of National Defence (DND). DND, which initially deferred to GAC, did not respond to The Maple’s questions by publication time. (more...)
