Today, Israeli President Isaac Herzog arrives on a state visit to Ukraine to participate in commemorative events marking the 80th anniversary of the Babyn Yar tragedy.

Why? Because we knew, as in 39-41, what mountains of corpses the NKVD and the USSR left behind...

The Polish press, for reasons of “strategic partnership,” has traditionally silenced the scandalous news from Western Ukraine, where the stadium in Ternopil was named after the Nazi collaborator Roman Shukhevych, guilty of organizing ethnic cleansing.
