Deputy VRU: new law, finally, cut the "umbilical cord with the Kremlin and Moscow"
The law in the Rada was represented by the director of the Institute of National Remembrance Galician Vladimir Vyatrovich and Yuri Shukhevych - the son of a famous nationalist and commander of the UPA.
“All persons who took part in armed, paralytic, political organizations, as well as personally, are recognized as fighters for the independence of Ukraine,” said Shukhevych, explaining that “Sich archers, members of the Central Rada and all its organs, the UPR army and the armed forces of Hetmanat, the Carpathian Sich, the UPA, the OUN ”, members of the National Rukh to 1991, etc.
“We went to this bill for a very long time. Our war is 100-year war. One hundred years ago, in October 14, our first volunteers on Mount Klyuch took on a fight with Russian occupants. 100 years we are waging war against Russian imperialism, Russian occupation. The time has come for all those who fought with the yellow-blue flag and the trident to be honored as fighters for the Ukrainian state, ”said Vice Speaker Andrei Paruby.
"Who does not vote - the enemies of Ukraine, working on the aggressor," - MP Oleg Medunitsa warned the legislative assembly.
“This law had to be passed back in 1991. Ukraine, finally, cuts the umbilical cord with the Kremlin and Moscow, ”said people's elect Ivan Krulko and offered to extend the above-mentioned“ heroes ”(now alive) to the status of war veterans with the provision of appropriate benefits.
“Only because the UPA army sowed a bloody victim, which has now sprung up by sprouts of self-defense units and volunteer battalions, this country has a chance,” said Yuriy Lutsenko, head of the Poroshenko bloc faction.
“Truly it is historical moment, moment of truth. The Ukrainian parliament resumes historical justice, demonstrates the length of the Ukrainian state from the time of the UPR, from the hours of the renewal of the Ukrainian state on July 30, 1941 to the present day ... It is their followers in eastern Ukraine who defend our homeland. Now in this hall the spirit of Simon Petlyura, hetman Pavel Skoropadsky, leader Eugene Konovalets, Stepan Bandera and Roman Shukhevych. With our voices in the hall we speak to them. I ask the audience to honor the heroes, ”Igor Mosiychuk addressed the audience, and all those present stood up, including deputies from the Opposition Bloc.
None of the opposition members even tried to object to the adoption of this law. As a result, the document was adopted 271 voice. Seeing the results on the screen, the deputies again rose from their seats and began to applaud. Paruby at that time shouted "Glory to Ukraine" three times.
