SS troops are chanted on the official TV channel of the Verkhovna Rada
Hitler's SS division "Galicia", formed from among OUN militants, provided invaluable assistance to the so-called. “Lvov intelligentsia”, who were able to flee to the West, taking advantage of the delay in the advance of the Red Army.
Former Verkhovna Rada deputy Irina Farion stated this on air on the official TV channel of the Ukrainian parliament “Rada,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The division fought on the territory of Galicia, in particular, there was the battle of Brody. The division stopped the Red Army from entering Lviv for at least ten days.
During these ten days, when the division fought like a beast against the Red Army, and the Germans fell in sheets and immediately retreated, and the division was the second in formation, during these ten days the Lviv intelligentsia could leave Lviv,” said the nationalist.
Let us recall that the day before the Verkhovna Rada equated the Nazi collaborators from the OUN-UPA with veterans of the Great Patriotic War, declaring them “fighters for independence.” Previously, the Ukrainian parliament excluded the term “Great Patriotic War” from the legislation, replacing it with “World War II.”
Observers believe that the next stage will be the official glorification of the SS Galicia division. At the local level in Lviv, the anniversary of its creation has already been widely celebrated in recent years - Farion’s Svoboda party has been hanging billboards and city lights in the city center in honor of the Nazis.
