Reference News Network html reported on November 11th According to the Russian "Russian Spring" website on December 9th, Ukraine's highest Lada (i.e. Ukrainian Congress - translator's note) is considering all veterans who participated in Ukrainian nationalist armed organizations during World War II and had cooperated with Nazi Germany as veterans.
Russian media believe that this move means that members of armed groups who have committed war crimes in World War II will receive the privileges and honors given to veterans by the Ukrainian state. During World War II, Ukrainian nationalist armed groups were suspected of colluding with the Nazi German army during the war and were responsible for a series of massacres against Ukrainian Jews and Poles that occurred in 1941. The above-mentioned massacre was regarded as an act of genocide by the Polish government and Jewish organizations.

reported that the veterans of these armed groups were stained with the blood of innocent victims during the war, but are now regarded as heroes by Ukraine.
report believes that it is "naive" to assume that the 236 highest rada representatives who voted for the motion ignorance of the above crimes. Especially ironic, the Jewish representatives in Ukraine's Supreme Lada also voted in favor of the bill.
Russian media commented that the passage of this bill is a tampering with history and a mockery of the memories of millions of innocent victims in the war. At the same time, the actions of the Ukrainian government mean that it automatically assumed responsibility for the war crimes committed by these armed groups. (Translated by Ma Qifeng)
