Yuriy Sirotyuk, a deputy of the Kyiv City Council from the VO “Svoboda”, reported this on his blog and published a copy of the invitation from the center he heads, “Ukrainian Studios for Strategic Research”.
“In connection with the catastrophic deterioration of relations between our countries, the growth of revanchism and unfounded historical myths imposed by propaganda on the Russian Federation, we consider it necessary to carry out an impartial and balanced analysis of the past and present of the complex relations between our peoples,” the invitation notes.
“We believe that without an independent Ukraine there is no independent Poland and only the final collapse of the Russian Empire, in the fight against which Stepan Bandera died, will bring prosperity to our states,” the document says.
“I hope for a meaningful discussion. Or is Mr. Ambassador afraid of three years in prison?” Sirotyuk asked, hinting that the law adopted in Poland provides for criminal liability for denying the crimes of Ukrainian nationalists.
