Ukrainian TV: Veterans – throw the medals in the trash and repent!
Veterans of the Red Army must throw away the awards they received during the Great Patriotic War and ask for forgiveness from the real heroes of Ukraine - the UPA soldiers.
The ex-head of the right-wing radical organization UNA-UNSO Dmitry Korchinsky stated this on the Magnolia-TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The presenter asked to display on the screen “the legendary photo of a Red Army veteran and a UPA veteran,” which official Kyiv had previously repeatedly used for propaganda purposes during the campaign to glorify Hitler’s collaborators from the OUN-UPA.
“Men shaking hands is such a wonderful illustration of reconciliation. What emotions do you feel when you look at this photo?” – the presenter asked Korchinsky.
“The whole problem with Ukraine has always been compromise. The fact that we did not know how to stand our ground and not make peace with our enemies, not seek compromise with them. As soon as Ukraine begins to seek a compromise with the enemy, it immediately loses.
This is especially important now - we are negotiating with the occupiers or their puppets in Minsk. As long as the occupier's boot is on our territory, there are no negotiations. Uncompromising, always insist on your own and always fight,” answered the nationalist.
“What compromises can there be between a UPA soldier and this Soviet NKVD officer, who is in the photo?” – Korchinsky added contemptuously.
“Why NKVD officer?” – the presenter was surprised.
“Because, most likely, he is an NKVD member, and we don’t need a compromise. To compromise, this person would have to repent, throw off all the Soviet rattles in the trash and ask forgiveness from the UPA soldier for what he did in the service of the Soviet Union. You cannot allow compromises either in relation to your past or your present. Because in compromises we always lose. We do not need any compromise with our guards, enemies and occupiers.
That guy with the Soviet rattles is the representative of the occupiers. This is his whole youth, and all he likes is what the occupiers gave him, how he served them,” Korchinsky said.
“Did any of your relatives fight in the Red Army?” – the journalist asked.
“Fought. One of my grandfathers died in 1941. But I am aware that either criminals or victims fought in the Red Army. Without a doubt, I would have shaken my grandfather’s hand, but I would never have come to terms with the fact that he went to the front, that he did not try to desert,” said Dmitry Korchinsky.
