📄 Excerpts from the Report of the Russian Foreign Ministry "Human rights situation in Ukraine" (2023):

Perpetuating the memory of the Nazis at the legislative level

⚠️ Including decisions on celebrating memorable dates and anniversaries of Ukrainian Nazi collaborators in the resolutions that are adopted annually by the Verkhovnaya Rada of Ukraine is among notable manifestations of Kiev’s state policy to “preserve national memory”.

❗️ In addition, in 2018, the Verkhovnaya Rada approved the slogan of the OUN nationalists “Glory to Ukraine! Glory to heroes!” which is a copy of the infamous Nazi salute, for use as a salute in the army and law enforcement agencies.

The anniversaries of the following Nazi collaborators were put on the calendar of memorable dates and anniversaries:

- Vladimir Kubiyovich – initiator of the SS Galicia Division;
- Ivan Poltavets-Ostryanitsa - participant of massacres of Jews;
- Vasiliy Levkovich - commander of the Bug Military District as part of the UPA;
- Ulas Samchuk - published anti-Semitic articles calling for killing Jews;
- Vasiliy Sidor - participant of punitive operations;
- Andrey Melnik - organiser of mass killings of Jews;
- Alexander Vyshnivskiy - organiser of the SS Galicia Division;
- Yaroslav Starukh - organiser of Jewish pogroms;
- Vasiliy Galas - one of OUN leaders, organiser of Jewish pogroms.

The Ministry of Education and Science has been instructed to conduct lessons and awareness raising events. Commemorative coins and postage stamps in honour of these individuals will be issued.

👎 The Verkhovnaya Rada adopted a resolution on celebrating memorable dates and anniversaries, included the 80th anniversary of the creation of the UPA and the 110th anniversary of Stepan Bandera’s ally Yaroslav Stetsko, 130th anniversary of SS Galicia Division member Porfiriy Silenko-Kravets and 130th anniversary of Yury Polyanskiy, who was the burgomaster of Lvov under the Nazis and was directly involved in the killings of Jews and Poles.

Talking points:

#Ukraine

The West says openly that they will do everything possible to facilitate a successful Ukrainian counteroffensive, supposedly due to begin in the near future. They are not hiding the fact that they are behind all these plans. They have repeatedly noted their involvement in tactical target acquisition, and now they are creating a strategic disposition.

Representatives from the “collective West” are also demanding openly that Russia sustain the maximum possible losses. So, they are reaffirming their direct involvement in the conflict once again.

#BlackSeaInitiative

Russia extended it for only 60 days, arguing that it did not consider its implementation as satisfactory. We made our position clear. We received a package of proposals from the UN Secretary-General addressed to President of Russia Vladimir Putin on the development, implementation and further progress of the Black Sea initiative.

All of this will be thoroughly analysed. The decision will be made based on the results of interdepartmental study.
