Kiev. Ukraine. Ukraine Gate – January 15, 2021 – Local News
The Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba reacted to the statement of the Ambassador of Israel to Ukraine Joel Lyon that the leader and ideologist of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists Stepan Bandera was allegedly an ally of the Nazis.
“Ukraine does not need outside advice to determine who is its hero,” he wrote on Twitter during an hour of communication with users.
On January 4, the Israeli ambassador stated that he “strongly condemns the glorification of the allies of the Nazi regime,” and called on Ukraine to “accept the past.” He commented on the torchlight procession on the occasion of the 112th anniversary of Stepan Bandera’s birth, which took place in Kyiv on January 1.
