As well as questionable activities during the [[Crimean Annexation]], Azov Battalion activists have been accused of involvement in a [[racist]] attack on football fans during the Champions League football match in Kyiv on October 20, 2015 and it was their aggression and threats that prevented a remembrance gathering on January 19, 2016 for slain anti-fascist and anti-Maidan lawyer Stanislav Markelov and journalist Anastasia Baburova.

In 2018, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a provision blocking any training of Azov members by American forces, citing its neo-Nazi connections. The House had previously passed amendments banning support of Azov between 2014 and 2017, but due to pressure from the [[Pentagon]], the amendments were quietly lifted. This was protested by the [[Simon Wiesenthal]] Center which stated that lifting the ban highlighted the danger of [[Holocaust]] distortion in Ukraine.<ref>https://greekcitytimes.com/2022/03/01/greek-in-mariupol-fascist-ukrainian/</ref> NATO by-passed the congressional action by training Azov fighters in Canada. Congress later rescinded the prohibition.
