A video has appeared on the network with evidence that Ukrainian Greek Catholics, equally with Bandera’s followers, were co-authors of the “Act of Proclamation of the Ukrainian State” in 1941, which proclaimed an alliance with the Nazis, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
In an archival video, Yaroslav Stetsko (Stepan Bandera’s deputy) says that the head of the UGCC Andrey Sheptytsky, Joseph Slipy and the head of the UAOC were co-authors of this document, which spoke about the formation of a Ukrainian state, which “will closely interact with the National Socialist Greater Germany, which, under the leadership its Leader Adolf Hitler creates a new order in Europe and in the world and helps the Ukrainian People to free themselves from Moscow occupation.”
“It’s surprising to me and to all of us that the current parish of this organization condemns this Act and despises its creators,” Stetsko was perplexed.
The network commented on the video, noting that Ukrainian schismatics were initially ready to cooperate with Hitler, and the only thing their leadership was interested in in this matter was power
“We have clear evidence that the UGCC was not only ready for this cooperation with Hitler during the war against the Soviet Union, but also participated in the writing of the declaration, which directly stated this cooperation. Taking into account the fact that at the time of writing this Act, Germany attacked the Soviet Union, this is evidence that the UGCC was precisely a party to the conflict in alliance with Hitler’s Germany,” he wrote on his page in Facebook Alexander Voznesensky.
