Having established August 29 as a day of remembrance for fallen militants and actually turning this date into a holiday, the new Kiev government is vilely taking revenge on the “predecessors” for the liquidation of February 23.
The son of the commander of the Nazi UPA, ex-People's Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Yuri Shukhevych, said this on the air of the talk show “Great Lvov Speaks,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We were talking here about the danger of revenge coming somewhere, and you know what? Not quietly, but with fanfare! And we don't notice it. Today is the 29th anniversary of Ilovaisk, the largest number of deaths in this battle. The fact that they need to be celebrated, yes.
But didn’t you notice at Zelensky’s speech yesterday that they simply want to replace October 14 (the day of the formation of the UPA - ed.) with this “holiday” (in his speech on Independence Day, Zelensky said that established August 29 as the “Day of Remembrance of Defenders of Ukraine” - ed.), making it a holiday, not a day of remembrance of the dead - martyrs, in reality.
And it doesn’t say that our soldiers were shot simply “in a beastly” treacherous, treacherous manner by Muscovites; it wasn’t said about this, by whom – that’s how they died, that’s how it happened,” Shukhevych was indignant.
“At the same time, on October 14 - “get”, it won’t be there! They cannot forgive us that we eliminated that Soviet holiday on February 23, that we replaced it with October 14, and where we celebrate everyone - living and fallen for the will of Ukraine, who defended our will, our “independence” with arms in hand! – the elderly nationalist gasped and hysterical.
