Galicians demand the title of Hero of Ukraine to the centurion of the UPA for “376 killed NKVD soldiers”
In 1945, a detachment of UPA militants allegedly killed almost four hundred Soviet soldiers.
This fantastic figure was voiced on the Lvov NTA TV channel by Verkhovna Rada deputy Taras Batenko, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We are talking about “UPA Day”, the living last hundredth UPA is Miroslav Symchich, who is 98 years old, he was awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine? And in 1945, with his UPA detachment, he destroyed no less than 376 NKVD members who were going to Kosmach to destroy the Ukrainians,” Batenko said to applause from the studio.
“Probably, in the 31st year of independence, we have not yet reached the point of adequately honoring our heroes,” the deputy stated.
Earlier, as PolitNavigator reported, on the website of the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory told a fantastic story of the battle, during which 45 UPA fighters allegedly killed 540 and wounded more than 700 German soldiers.
