The reporter himself said this: publishing a video about the incident in the British capital on his Youtube channel.
The full name of the museum that Phillips was trying to get to was “Bandera Museum of the Liberation Struggle.” Artifacts and individual documents dedicated to the activities of Nazi collaborators from the UPA and the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) are stored here.
Phillips explained that he behaved adequately and calmly, like an ordinary museum visitor. But, according to the journalist, the owners of the exhibition have their own views on who is worthy of visiting the museum of the leader of Ukrainian nationalists.
“This is a very mysterious matter. We approached the museum, and I was just wondering if this was really the Bandera Museum. I behaved normally, politely, and not only did they not let me in, but they beat me and kicked me out,” recalls the British reporter. “They didn’t give me the opportunity to find out what was inside. They just kicked him out onto the street and closed the museum.” - says the journalist.
“I was not given the opportunity to visit the museum and was told that I was not allowed to come here. But I'm not offended. I know history, I know that Bandera is a fascist and a Nazi. It's a shame that there is such a museum in London, because my grandfather fought against fascism. This museum is a disgrace,” says Graham Phillips.
