The Ukrainian ambassador to Germany speaks of Stepan Bandera as a national hero of Ukraine
– You visited the grave of Stepan Bandera and said that you admire him. Why?
– I didn't say I admire him.
– Yes, you said.
– For all Ukrainians, he personifies a fighter for freedom, one who stands for the independence of Ukraine. There are no written laws for those who fight for freedom. Robin Hood also acted illegally.
– Do you admit that he was an anti-Semite, and his people were involved in the murder of 800 thousand Jews?
– No, he didn't participate. There is no proof. He was not convicted.
– Yes, there're proofs.
– Nope. I don't want to talk about it.
The representative of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, Nikolenko, called Melnyk's words about Bandera his personal opinion.
The Israeli embassy in Germany harshly criticized the Ukrainian ambassador to Germany, for doubting that Bandera was guilty of the genocide of Jews and other peoples, and also for the fact that he "distances himself from this."
