On June 27-30, 2024, tributes were paid in many places in Ukraine to the war criminal Roman Shukhevych, murderer of Jews and Poles, the nationalist Ukrainian commander who cooperated with the Nazis during World War II.

To provide some historical background, Roman Shukhevych was born in 1907, graduating in 1934 from the Technical University in Lviv (then Lwow, Poland). He lived in Eastern Galicia, a multiethnic region, with a Polish, Jewish, and Ukrainian population, which at that time was a part of the newly reborn Republic of Poland. From the beginning of its foundation in Vienna in 1929, he was involved in activities of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), then mainly directed against the Polish state. He organized and participated in several assassinations of state officials. However, the authorities of Poland dealt with him exceptionally leniently.

Sentenced on June 26, 1936, to three years in prison; with credit for the previous period of pretrial detention, he was released in January 1937. In 1938, Shukhevych began to organize Ukrainian military units in Transcarpathian Ruthenia, and, at the end of September 1939, after WWII started, he arrived in German-occupied Kraków, where he soon took over the leadership of the OUN-B.

Ukraine is imbedded with Neo- Nazis all the way to the top. Sacked General Zaluzhny was a Bandera enthusiast.

He was a buddy of Bandera. He also is famous for the Volhynian-Galician slaughter.

Ukraine embraced the Nazis after Stalin starved them to death, long history of Nazis and killing Jews

England, Canada and the US embraced them too after the war and as this war in Ukraine has shown they flourished as we now been shown. Israel is going to be busy after the Ukriane war is over and the collective west cannot hide them anymore.
