Stepan Bandera was arrested by the Gestapo and thrown into a Nazi concentration camp.
Because he fought against the Nazis.
He was assassinated by the Russian KGB.
Because he fought against the Russians.
Bandera is buried with dignity in Munich, Germany.
Sikorsky can get fucked.
Confused by the Poland-Ukraine fiasco?
The Ukrainian Insurgent Army
(UPA), Volhynia, Nawrocki, Zelensky, and the medals?
Take a listen to real history behind these events to understand what makes the situation sensitive and complex for both sides, for very different reasons.
In Irkutsk, journalists from a local news outlet "IrCity" got in line at a Rosneft gas station with a 1.3 km-long queue at 12:30 PM to find out how long it actually takes to refuel. They finally reached the pump just after 12:40 AM, more than 12 hours later.
Throughout the day, drivers repeatedly tried to cut the line, while others arrived with trucks carrying rows of large fuel containers despite the restrictions. Police were eventually called in to restore order, regulate traffic, and stop motorists from filling them.
Finally, after more than 12 hours in line, the journalists bought 30 liters of fuel. The journalists described it as an experience they never want to repeat.
No one will ever again dictate to Ukrainians which heroes to honor, which holidays to celebrate, or which history to study. Our ancestors fought for centuries for this right to freedom of choice and national independence, and it is for this very right that our warriors are shedding their blood today. Their memory must live on forever.
We, our children, and all future generations must clearly know and honor those who dedicated their lives to the struggle for Ukraine. This is especially important today, as we are fighting a war for Ukraineโs freedom.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has submitted to the Verkhovna Rada the draft law โOn the Ukrainian National Pantheon.โ This is a decisive and much-needed step toward restoring historical justice, consolidating our society, and laying the foundation of memory for future generations. This document is a testament to our maturity as a state.
I am convinced that the Ukrainian Parliament understands the importance of this initiative and will consider and adopt this draft law as soon as possible.
Glory to Ukraine!
They were cheering every time Ukraine was bombed, civilians were tortured and r@ped, and delighted at the sight of soldiers being captured and murdered on video.
Their lack of perspective when the tables turn a few degrees is nauseating and why that federation needs to crumble.
With social fabric tearing on every front, Russians continue their collective descent into madness while queing for petrol.
Never with a thought of merely remedying the situation by removing their army from Ukraine, they sacrifice their economy, society and eventually country to maintain the war.
Ukraine is going to be European, become a member of the EU, and join NATO - Finnish President Alexander Stubb
[Q]: What were Russia's strategic aims in this war?
[President Stubb]: One was to deny Ukraine's independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. Failure.
Number one: Ukraine is going to be European. It's going to become an EU member state and, eventually, a NATO member state.
The White Helmets are heading to Venezuela.
A Syrian Civil Defense team left #Damascus for Caracas to assist in the aftermath of the devastating earthquakes.
The team consists of 15 search & rescue specialists equipped with their own gear, while Qatar is providing the heavy machinery needed for the operation.
The economic situation in Russia is spiralling out of control, and the Russian occupation of Crimea is experiencing a profound crisis due to Ukrainian pressure.
Things are reaching a critical point and I expect Russiaโs soft western apologists to start demanding Ukraine relents.
Mutual history of Poland and Ukraine is bloody and gruesome.
Polish attacks on Ukraine's sovereignty will backfire on Poland not just from the Ukrainian perspective but from the entire civilized world.
Poland must stop whitewashing their own brutal history and playing the victim.
New satellite imagery shows a traffic jam stretching over 10 km on the exit from occupied Crimea at the Kerch Bridge, with an estimated 1,500 vehicles waiting to leave the peninsula.
