The cry of Bandera's supporters will become the official greeting in the Armed Forces of Ukraine
In Ukraine they want to legislate the Nazi slogan “Glory to Ukraine” as a military salute. The corresponding instruction was given by the country's President Petro Poroshenko, Defense Minister Stepan Poltorak told reporters.
According to him, the Nazi chant will be replaced with a Soviet-style greeting, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“The President of Ukraine ordered the preparation of amendments to the law of Ukraine, which approves military regulations, because it is determined in the military regulations how to greet. Such proposals are being prepared, and I hope that after returning from the holidays, people’s deputies will accept this as a whole,” Poltorak said.
He also emphasized that this slogan will be used during the parade on the occasion of Ukraine’s Independence Day, which is celebrated on August 24: “During the parade, we will show that this is more Ukrainian, more ours.”
Earlier, political scientist and historian Vladimir Kornilov stated: the people of Kiev, who picked up the slogan of the Galicians on the Maidan “Glory to Ukraine - glory to the heroes,” do not realize that historically this is the cry of the “Union of Ukrainian Fascists”, which operated in Czechoslovakia and on the territory of modern Ukraine in the 1920s .
“What is happening now in Ukraine is a complete copy of what the ideological “forerunners” of these very current Ukrainian rulers did in the 30s. Now many in Ukraine are repeating “Glory to Ukraine - glory to the heroes.” Do you know whose slogan this is? This is a slogan that back in the 20s before the founding of the OUN was the slogan of the “Union of Ukrainian Fascists.” This is an official title, not an emotional one. And now this slogan is heard in the Verkhovna Rada,” Kornilov explained.
