Recall the ambassador! The Poles are guilty of genocide! – the Rada is hysterical over the Bandera ban
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted an appeal to the Polish parliament in connection with the recent adoption by the Sejm of the law prohibiting and criminalizing the propaganda of Bandera ideology.
242 deputies voted for the corresponding decision, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
In the text of the appeal, the deputies state that if the law is signed by the Polish president, the dialogue between the countries will be in question.

“Frank dialogue, free exchange of opinions and academic freedom are under the threat of criminal prosecution, which is incompatible with democratic values,” says the appeal of Ukrainian deputies, who previously themselves voted to ban left-wing and Russian parties in Ukraine.
During the discussion of the text of the appeal, much more radical statements were made than the final version of the document.
Thus, Lyashkovite Igor Mosiychuk said that the Polish bill is, in fact, directed against all Ukrainians. Deputies from the “Radical Party” demanded that the Ukrainian ambassador be recalled from Poland and accused the Polish authorities of chauvinism.
“Unfortunately, the majority of Polish chauvinists, supporters of the late Pilsudski, supporters of people who killed Ukrainians and who sowed enmity between the Ukrainian and Polish people came to power in the Polish parliament and Sejm. The adoption of the law is actually anti-Ukrainian, and not anti-Bandera or anti-Melnikov. The reaction of the Ukrainian parliament and authorities should not only be in resolutions and empty words. The “Radical Party” faction demands: first, that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs recall the Ambassador of Ukraine from the Republic of Poland for consultation, and second, that the president immediately meet with his Polish counterpart and convince him not to sign this anti-Ukrainian law. And lastly, we demand the creation of a working group in parliament led by our colleague Yuriy Shukhevych, which will consider bills and proposals and provide an assessment of the genocide against Ukrainians that the Poles committed during Operation Vistula and the so-called pacification,” Mosiychuk said .
In turn, MP from the Popular Front Nikolai Kniazhitsky promised that even if the law is signed, Ukraine will not offend its citizens: “We will not allow anyone to offend either the Ukrainian minority in Poland, or the memory of the Ukrainian people, or those Ukrainians who are now work in Poland,” Kniazhitsky promised.
There was also a statement about the “hand of the Kremlin.” Thus, MP from Batkivshchyna Sergei Sobolev attributed the authorship of the anti-Bandera law to the President of Russia: “I have one question - who is leading the hands of these radicals (Polish, - ed.) strength, wasn’t it the same Putin in Moscow who wrote the draft of this law that you adopted?”
