Ukrainian nationalists, with their actions and statements, only make everything that they verbally fight stronger.

This was announced at a press conference in Kyiv, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent, by the head of the information and analytical center “Third Sector” Andrey Zolotarev, who drew attention to the document prepared by the Israeli Ministry of Diaspora Affairs voluminous report, in which the Ukrainian government is accused of involvement in rampant anti-Semitism and attacks on Jewish objects.
The political scientist noted that a few years ago, the Israeli media were generally neutral towards Ukraine, but the situation has changed recently.
“The thesis “Scratch some patriots and a brown Nazi will be revealed” is increasingly appearing in the Hebrew-language press. They will harness it there for a long time, but then they will quickly take it with very serious consequences, including from lobbying groups in the United States,” the expert warned.
“You may continue to ignore Nazi symbols in the emblems of some formations, but in Israel everyone sees this very well. So the report is very revealing. A year ago, everyone laughed and reacted with disbelief when I said that Ukrainian nationalists, through their actions and statements from the political margins, moved questions about Bandera and the UPA into the Polish political mainstream. Today we are reaping the fruits of this work. Therefore, the mission of Ukrainian patriots is to make stronger everything that they verbally fight,” concluded Zolotarev.
As PolitNavigator reported, yesterday the Polish The Seimas adopted a law on criminal liability for denying the crimes of Ukrainian nationalists.
