Lutsenko told Jews about the far-right danger
In Kyiv they continue to blame all the sins of uncontrollable Ukrainian nationalists and radicals on the Russian special services.
The corresponding statements were made during the Kyiv Jewish Forum by the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Yuriy Lutsenko, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Thus, according to him, the Russian FSB deliberately sponsors groups of vandals who defame religious institutions and various kinds of monuments in order to discredit Ukraine in the eyes of the world community.
“As everyone knows from history, the FSB, or once the KGB, the Russian Federation, once the USSR, is a very powerful organization, a well-financially motivated organization, but it has never been burdened with unnecessary imagination, so they act according to a template. Need to throw a pig's head into a Jewish religious center? This was done several times across the country. Need to throw a bomb at the Polish cultural center in Volyn? Made. Need to outline Jewish cemeteries? Made. Do you need to mutilate Polish cemeteries or Hungarian monuments? Made. This is done according to the same pattern by several mobile groups, two of which were detained and gave revealing testimony: who, how much and how transferred funds for all these acts of vandalism, which were intended to incite ethnic and religious hatred in Ukraine, or at least expose Ukraine as such territory. Both fail,” he emphasized.
At the same time, Lutsenko admitted that the problem of far-right nationalist movements in Ukraine is quite acute, which is known to the authorities, security forces, and citizens.
“Yes, it’s true, we have problems. The problems are the same as throughout Europe: the growth of ultra-right-wing nationalist organizations of a paramilitary nature. I have a very good attitude towards the right-wing parties of Ukraine, because they were a necessary inoculation for the revival of the state and remain guardian of this state. But youths, very young people who have not smelled gunpowder, but have dressed in camouflage and march with torches, sometimes indulging in hate speech, are a problem. And the Ministry of Internal Affairs knows this challenge. And the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine knows this challenge. And the citizens of Ukraine are aware of this challenge,” the Prosecutor General noted.
