Germany gives Ukraine advice on Nazi-collaborator national 'hero' - media

Kiev should join a Holocaust remembrance group to discuss Bandera's role in ethnic cleansing, an anti-Semitism official has said.

Germany has tacitly criticized Ukraine for the apologism of Nazi-collaborator Stepan Bandera advocated by Kiev's ambassador. The country should join the Berlin-based International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), where Bandera's role in ethnic cleansings can be discussed, German anti-Semitism commissioner Felix Klein said on Monday.

The IHRA is an "appropriate forum" for discussing the issue on the international level, Klein told Funke Mediengruppe. This suggestion was in response to claims by Ukrainian Ambassador Andrey Melnik, who said there was no evidence that Nazi collaborator Bandera was responsible for the persecution of Poles and Jews in Ukraine during World War II.

Bandera is considered a national hero in Ukraine due to his role as a nationalist leader. Forces loyal to him were involved in mass killings and expulsions of non-Ukrainians, and sided with the invading Nazi German forces, hoping that Adolf Hitler would allow a Ukrainian state to exist under Berlin's protectorate.

The Germans arrested Bandera in 1941 after he refused to accept that his plan to proclaim an independent Ukraine would not be allowed. He was released three years later in hopes that he could lead his Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists to fight the advancing Red Army on the eastern front.

Melnik's attempt to whitewash Bandera's role in the persecution of minorities in Ukraine prompted rebuke from Poland and Israel. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry distanced itself from the diplomat, saying he was expressing his personal views. Kiev reportedly wants to recall the ambassador from Berlin and appoint him deputy foreign minister.

Klein said that he found Melnik's comments problematic, because they allegedly "feed the Russian narrative" about Ukraine and "cause division and misunderstanding among friendly states."

Moscow believes the Ukrainian government is beholden to the whims of radical nationalists, some of whom openly espouse neo-Nazi beliefs, and that they prevented the government in Kiev from seeking reconciliation with the Donbass region in the east, while pushing for military action against them.

Russia sent troops into Ukraine on February 24, citing Kiev's failure to implement the Minsk agreements, designed to give the regions of Donetsk and Lugansk special status within the Ukrainian state. The protocols, brokered by Germany and France, were first signed in 2014. Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has since admitted that Kiev's main goal was to use the ceasefire to buy time and "create powerful armed forces."

In February 2022, the Kremlin recognized the Donbass republics as independent states and demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join any Western military bloc. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked.

„Moscow beliefs”? This is a bare fact, not anyone's „belief”. Banderism is an official ideology of the Ukrainian state! Just look at the attached picture... if anyone thinks it's just „Moscow's belief” — it's enough to find out, what Ukrainian kids are taught in Ukrainian schools.

Ukraine is playing its part on the world stage as the basis of an international levelling of world hedgemony. Many of us can see it and expected it.

The arguement thus far is that the known NAZIfication of Ukraine is a threat to the world, but first it had to be propagated, funded, allowed to establish and grow and ONLY then could the Russian aggression be effectively normalized as a peaceful move towards world peace (in a marginally maintainable perspective that is!) which could act as a catalyst to create another fake war.

USA had to have its previous history (post 9/11) to play its role in the "defeated super power" but the USA government and the Russian government are only 2 points on the triangular dialectic.

If Russia seeks a war with Europe when the European people are without food gas electric (and while the USA is being neutered) then you have the logical next step in this childish narrative that is meant to convince people this is all the work of a few dumb/nationally suicidal polititions from europe.

Nah Ive read all the comments here and elsewhere and they only lack that information/that something that the chosen talking heads are positioned to deal with intellectually but its pretty obvious what is next!!

danny esq for the doubters....

Think of a triangle perimeter with a circle inside it.

That which is being circled has three points that can never be reached.

I guess you will either see it or not. I cannot explain it better than that but I have been waiting patiently for Russia to continue it's "warranted" aggression and expand. Now I can see why everyone worships Putin and Russia, they fall into this trap at every turn, the reprisentation model (hired Sheppard) that cons the people that any politically ambitious person who was not even with the FULL support of his countrymen/women could never be at war with them is absurd. But then that is why every astute politically interested person I know subscribes to at least half a dozen shows that never reach those points of the triangle.

danny esq I don't see it.

As Scott Ritter has analyzed the Russian operation in Ukraine, it has been entirely a tactical and strategic attack. The aggressor in Europe is NATO and the CIA/USA. They have instigated the "war narrative" and the globalists have escalated it because of the bioweapons laboratories and the drug and child trafficking. As Zelensky outlaws the opposition, which the Bribem government is trying to do in the USA with its "white supremacists", we see NAZI ideology everywhere.

danny esq Another soul seeing through the charade, thumbs up brother!

It's a great method of manipulating the masses, isn't it? And few will ever notice it is all coordinated on both sides, in fact on all three sides.. They need to give us the illusion of "free choice" and to make it all look like a "natural discourse of events".. Just like they financed and helped Hitler and Lenin rise to power, so they could destroy both Russia and Germany - in the end the Russians proved much more resilient and they continue to destroy them even nowadays, the common people are still not brainwashed and/or dead in large enough numbers for them globalists..

And obviously the One Party system as well as Unipolar World Order are failing after a certain amount of time, so they need a "refresher" and make it Two Party/Multipolar World Order now, as the Two Party system has been very effective in controlling the American population - maybe they plan to have a Three Party planetary system as described in 1984 by Orwell after all? Surely does look like that to me, they're steadily advancing and most people are not even aware, they prefer to pick "their side" from the prefabricated options ("either you're with US or with the Russians!" - and where is any room for neutrality and non-involvement?! They don't want to give you ANY, you HAVE to choose as they FORCE you, well, not for me, I don't fall for this silly stuff anymore )

KROMM While a lot of us would like to see Russia as the honorable nation, we really do not know who, as we say, is pulling the strings. The only thing I do know for sure, is that I will never trust any of these politicians, heads of state, unelected agencies, etc., etc. And a lot of other people as well. You are right, they want us all to be forced to share THEIR opinions, but they want to hog all the worldly goods.

Dwoods44 Perhaps the White Supremacists are named that way and not by themselves! Who goes around saying whites are supreme...?

These internet gurus sure do love the game "Simon says" dont they!

KROMM Its crazy isnt it. Interesting point about Orwells 3 party dialectic. Thanks KROMM

danny esq They have developed the method of neuro linguistic programming, that manipulates words and phrases to induce compliance and acceptance. Hypnotists like Darren Brown in the UK are very good at hypnotizing over half their audience.

Quote of the Day

"We have about 50% of the world's wealth but only 6.3% of its population. This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security. To do so, we will have to dispense with all sentimentality and day-dreaming; and our attention will have to be concentrated everywhere on our immediate national objectives. We need not deceive ourselves that we can afford today the luxury of altruism and world-benefaction."

~ US State Department, 1948
