Some Ukrainian nationalist groups which took part in the uprising in Kiev have been blamed for fanning anti-Semitic sentiment. Anti-Semitism is also apparent among some Russian nationalists.
U.S. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said in Washington that the United States was still trying to determine who was behind the leaflets and added: "We take any anti-Semitism very seriously."
An influential U.S. congresswoman called the leaflet episode
"an unacceptable escalation of the crisis in Ukraine and cause for both grave concern and immediate action".
