Zelensky's hangman rushed to defend Bandera in front of Israel and Poland
A joint ambassadors' statement Israel Joel Lyon and Poland Bartosz Cichocki, who condemned the Kyiv city administration and the Lviv regional council for holding marches on January 1 in honor of the Hitler collaborator Stepan Bandera, were “political.”
Verkhovna Rada deputy from the Servant of the People Nikita Poturaev stated this in a comment to Ukrainian journalist Andrei Pavlovsky, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I met with the Israeli ambassador, we had a long discussion, very productive, he is a professional historian, we understand each other perfectly. I think that in this case these statements were more of a political nature, since no one, but Stepan Bandera, can be blamed for ethnic cleansing. He could not take any physical part in them, not a single document signed by Stepan Bandera calling for ethnic cleansing exists in nature and never has existed. Even the NKVD was embarrassed to make such fakes,” Poturaev said.
At the same time, a member of the ruling party explained this statement by the “political process” within the framework of the elections taking place in Israel, and Kyiv’s refusal to send a note of protest to Poland and Israel as a reluctance to spoil relations with these states.
“With great concern and sadness, we noted that government officials at various levels of Ukraine, including the Lviv Regional Council and the Kiev City State Administration, are still celebrating historical events and their figures, which need to be condemned once and for all...
Remembering our innocent brothers and sisters who were killed in 1939-1945 in the occupied territories of Poland, which today are part of Ukraine, we, the Ambassadors of Poland and Israel, believe that honoring people who actively promoted ethnic cleansing is an insult, and leads to the opposite the desired result in the fight against anti-Semitism and the process of reconciliation of our peoples,” said a statement by foreign diplomats published on Facebook by the Polish and Israeli embassies in Ukraine.
Earlier, as PolitNavigator reported, Poturaev suggested “impaling and cutting off heads” rebel residents of Donbass.
