Bandera members will be caught throughout the European Union
The decision of the Polish Sejm on criminal liability for the glorification of the OUN-UPA will have far-reaching consequences - in fact, by analogy with the legislation on the Holocaust, Ukrainian Bandera supporters could be persecuted throughout the entire territory of the European Union. To avoid problems, Kyiv politicians will now have to “wiggle” when answering questions from journalists in the EU.
Former Minister of Justice of Ukraine Elena Lukash writes about this in her blog.

“The Polish Sejm banned Bandera’s ideology and introduced liability for denying the Volyn massacre. The Sejm introduces criminal liability for denying the crimes of Ukrainian nationalists. The law provides for a fine or imprisonment for up to 3 years for “anti-Polish” expressions.
The EU will side with Poland on this issue. The reasons for this decision of the Seimas are clear.
The Poles are fed up with the glorification of Bandera, torchlight processions and the rewriting of history by Ukrainian ballpoints.
Oh yes... The Verkhovna Rada not so long ago adopted the law “On the legal status and honoring the memory of participants in the struggle for the independence of Ukraine in the twentieth century.” By the adopted law, 271 deputies granted the OUN-UPA organizations the status of fighters for the independence of Ukraine.
Hello, 271 deputies. Hello, Vyatrovichi! Hello, Cabinet of Ministers! Hello, cynical Bandera! Warm greetings from Poland. Criminal law. So screw up the rhetoric before the elections...
And I’m sure no one will joke. For example, citizens of the European Union are regularly convicted for Holocaust denial, and EU countries have both standards of responsibility for “hate crimes” and experience in prosecuting perpetrators.
Persecution throughout the EU.
I look forward to questions from journalists in the EU asked of Ukrainian functionaries about Bandera and Bandera’s followers. Catch them by the tongue! It will be interesting!" - predicts Lukash.
