The Ukrainian leader honoured the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, which was responsible for massacres of Polish civilians in the 1940s.
Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky has renamed an elite commando unit, adding a dedication to World War II-era nationalist paramilitaries responsible for the massacres of Poles and Jews.
According to a decree signed on Tuesday, the Special Operations Center North will bear the honorary title ‘Heroes of the UPA’, referring to the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), the military wing of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN). The change reflects “the revival of the historic traditions of the national army,” the document said.
The OUN sought to establish an ethnically and religiously homogeneous Ukrainian state and collaborated with Nazi Germany during the early stages of the invasion of the Soviet Union. The UPA was formed in 1942 following a split between much of the OUN leadership and the Germans. Its leaders included Roman Shukhevich, a former deputy commander of the Nazi-led Nachtigall Battalion.
Ukrainian nationalists played a major role in the 1941 Lviv pogrom, and from 1943-44, killed around 100,000 Polish civilians in what is now western Ukraine. The massacres remain a point of contention between modern-day Poland and Ukraine, and have fuelled diplomatic tensions, as Ukrainian officials and activists have at times downplayed or justified the atrocities committed by the UPA.
Nationalists and UPA veterans, including Shukhevich and OUN leader Stepan Bandera, are officially celebrated in Ukraine as freedom fighters. Streets have been named after them, and commemorative events are held in their honor, including torchlit marches on January 1, Bandera’s birthday.
In February 2026, the head of the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance, Aleksandr Alferov, who previously served as a spokesman for the neo-Nazi Azov unit, dismissed the massacres of Poles as a “myth,” prompting outrage in Warsaw.
Earlier this week, the Ukrainian authorities reburied the remains of one of the OUN leaders, Andrey Melnik, after repatriating them from Luxembourg. Zelensky attended the ceremony.
Russia has long accused Ukraine of glorifying Nazi collaborators. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called the practice “very dangerous for Europe.”
And we keep sending them money????????
The jew is gassing these guys up large.
NAZI ideology never went away after WWII. Ukraine has never been shy to express this through the AZOV brigade and regular soldiers adopting WWII iconography, emblems, old uniforms, helmets etc, even the roman salute.
We can thank Western MSM for agreeing to not show the NAZI symbolism in their reporting. But its there.
Zelenskyy has always been proud to have photo ops with unit flags on display if you know what to look for.
This latest expression is a shift or return to the underground nationalist organisation’s carrying out their struggle through terrorism. Hence all the face covering.
They are saying: Russia may have won the conventional war, but we are not going anywhere. Sore loosens.
Nazism vs Judaism?…the never before seen or recognised collaboration.

The zionist ideology also never went away.
National Socialist ideology meant a.o. to oust zionism. Unfortunalely the WWII turmoil led to Noble Cause Corruption / Ethical Drift / and starvation-typhoid death (falsly named Holocaust) of concentration camp slaves. What we see today in the Ukraine is not what the Nazis would support.
Isn’t it remarkable for how many meanings the expression ‘Nazi’ is used for?
So our tax dollars have been sent to Neo Nazi’s. Time for a proper investigation and politicians to be shown the door.
The fake democracy “leaders” in the “free west” love their totalitarian zionazi thugs in Ukraine.
Can we kiwis stop paying tax to our illicit NZ government which finances these nazis in Ukraine?
Looking forward to see them on video being blended from Drone bombs and the like.
EU President Ursula von der Leyen and EU Foreign affairs Kaja Kallas both grand daughters of WWII NAZI officials, both pushing to fund Ukraine proxy war with Russia. Same Ukraine honoring and celebrating WWII NAZI collaborators Melnyk and Bandera et.al.
Politician Chrystia Freeland Canadian Ukro heritage granddaughter of NAZI official helped celebrate Hunka an aged WWII collaborator complicit with genocide. Now Freeland is economic adviser to Ukraine.
WWII NAZI’sm is modern day Ukraine NAZI ideology. Same thing.
It all shows the hypocrisy of the Euro-Reich leaders — they blame all social unrest in their countries not on themselves and their policies but on alleged ‘far right extremists’ while they back to the hilt neo-Nazis in Ukraine. They only get away with that because of a compliant legacy media and heavy censorship of social media which they are set on increasing.
