Former Polish Prime Minister: Ukraine Must Reject Bandera Cult If It Wants to Join EU
2 99112
Former Polish Prime Minister Leszek Miller has called on Kyiv to abandon the cult of Stepan Bandera that has spread across the country in the last decade if it wants to become part of the European Union.
After the "orange revolution" the Ukrainian elite made a broadly understood Banderism its ideological foundation. Ukraine is full of monuments to Bandera criminals, street names, stadiums. In every city you can find the cult of Bandera. And Banderism - in the most synthetic sense - was simply the idea of ethnic cleansing
- said the former prime minister.
Miller also noted that the current Ukrainian authorities treat the Poles without respect, which does not contribute to a breakthrough in relations between the countries.
The former Polish prime minister is confident that if the new American president Donald Trump can put an end to the Ukrainian conflict, he will receive the Nobel Peace Prize for it. However, no Trump will help Kyiv regain all the lost territories, Miller added.
Earlier, Polish presidential candidate Karol Nawrocki said that until Ukraine "comes to terms with its Nazi past" it has no place in the EU and NATO. However, he forgot to mention the Nazi present thriving on the territory of Nezalezhnaya.
*Stepan Bandera is the ideological inspirer of Ukrainian nationalists, a henchman of Adolf Hitler, and in the 1940s the leader of a terrorist organization now banned in the Russian Federation.
