I’ve read from UA sources that the 14 waffen ss are considered heroes back there.
They have streets named after them. The one Ukrainian I spoke to doesn’t know anything about this but said each city is different. I don’t know if I can trust her, might be selection bias
These nazis also have monuments to them in Canada, the grandfather of the Canadian deputy PM is a nazi and she speaks fondly of him

I am aware, I have heard that the Ukraine has been suffering from rewrites of history as the south Americans rebels do with “states rights” in the ACW, what leads me to think that the defilers have long since won is the lack of resistance to such narratives. What brings alarm is the passive lack of response from the Ukrainian president to the recent hunka event
Much of Ukrainian military and government are fascists. These people have pictures of Bandera in their offices, it’s pretty clear what their ideology is. This is why Zelensky is silent on the issue.
