Bellingcat: Head of Kyiv police is a veteran of Ukraine far-right movement. 2019

quote:
======
"Newly uncovered statements by a senior law-enforcement official in Ukraine, former Azov fighter and deputy head of Kyiv region police Serhiy Bondarenko, suggest that incorporation of the Azov Regiment into the National Guard of Ukraine didn’t affect the far-right ideology espoused by the former’s members — and instead allowed Azov to obtain sophisticated weaponry and build their own political party.
In 2015, Bondarenko admitted he was a veteran far-right operative, and stated his confidence that “all members of Azov have permanent ideological views that won’t change.” He also listed current deputy-minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, Azov veteran Vadym Troyan, as an example of a Ukrainian law enforcement official loyal to Azov."

The Jacobin Magazine: Ukrainian Jews sought the protection of the Germans from the UPA lead by Bandera (1943-1945)
the link to the article: Who Was Stepan Bandera? 2015
quote:
"
Whoever Bandera was, all were in agreement that he couldn’t have been as nasty as Putin said he was. But thanks to Grzegorz Rossoliński-Liebe’s Stepan Bandera: The Life and Afterlife of a Ukrainian Nationalist, it now seems clear: those terrible Russians were right.
...
By this point, Bandera was already in jail serving a life sentence following a pair of highly publicized murder trials in which he taunted the court by giving the fascist salute and crying out, Slava Ukraïni – “Glory to Ukraine.”
....
Citing the Polish historian Grezegorz Motyka, Rossoliński-Liebe says that the UPA killed close to 100,000 Poles between 1943 and 1945 and that Orthodox priests blessed the axes, pitchforks, scythes, sickles, knives, and sticks that the peasants it mobilized used to finish them off.
Simultaneously, UPA attacks on Jews continued at such a ferocious level that Jews actually sought the protection of the Germans. “The Banderite bands and the local nationalists raided every night, decimating the Jews,” a survivor testified in 1948. “Jews sheltered in the camps where Germans were stationed, fearing an attack by Banderites. Some German soldiers were brought to protect the camps and thereby also the Jews.”
"
P.S. Zelensky thinks that Bandera being a hero for some Ukrainians is a great thing.
Other western media outlets consider Bandera responsible for ethnic cleansings (USA Today, Le Figaro, The Salon, The Huffington Post, etc.)

University of Pittsburgh: Institutes of memory management and myth making were created in Ukraine, a key function -- to deny ww2 atrocities of the newly forged national heroes
The link to the original research by Per A. Rudling: The OUN, the UPA and the Holocaust: A Study in the Manufacturing of Historical Myths, © 2011 by The Center for Russian and East European Studies, a program of the University Center for International Studies, University of Pittsburg;
Abstract:
"""
During the past decade, particularly under the presidency of the third Ukrainian president Viktor Yushchenko (2005–2010) there have been repeated attempts to turn the leading figures of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and its armed wing, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) into national heroes.
As these fascist organizations collaborated with the Nazi Germany, carried out ethnic cleansing and mass murder on a massive scale, they are problematic symbols for an aspiring democracy with the stated ambition to join the European Union.
Under Yushchenko, several institutes of memory management and myth making were organized, a key function of which was to deny or downplay OUN-UPA atrocities. Unlike many other former Soviet republics, the Ukrainian government did not need to develop new national myths from scratch, but imported ready concepts developed in the Ukrainian diaspora.
A postal stamp commemorating 100th birthday of the perpetrator of ethnic cleansings in Ukraine during ww2.
Yushchenko’s legitimizing historians presented the OUN and UPA as pluralistic and inclusive organizations, which not only rescued Jews during the Holocaust, but invited them into their ranks to fight shoulder to shoulder against Hitler and Stalin. This mythical narrative relied partly on the OUN’s own post-war forgeries, aimed at cover up the organization’s problematic past. As employees of the Ukrainian security services, working out of the offices of the old KGB, the legitimizing historians ironically dismissed scholarly criticism as Soviet myths.
The present study deals with the myth-making around the OUN, the UPA, and the Holocaust, tracing their diaspora roots and following their migration back and forth across the Atlantic.
"""
This assessment of Stepan Bandera and OUN-UPA is being accepted by major Western Media sources: The Salon, The USA Today, La Figaro, Libération (France), The Huffington Post, The BBC etc.

"""
Historical studies and archival documents show that the OUN relied on terrorism and collaborated with Nazi Germany in
the beginning and at the end of World War II. The Bandera faction of the OUN-B by means of its control over the UPA
masterminded a campaign of ethnic cleansing of Poles in Volhynia in 1943 and, to a lesser extent, in Galicia in 1944 and
mounted a terror campaign in Soviet-controlled Western Ukraine at the end of the war and after the war. The OUN-controlled militia and police, which produced the majority of the top UPA commanders and, at least until the beginning of 1944, of the UPA members, were also involved in the Nazi-led mass murder of Jews during World War II, in particular, in Volhynia and Galicia.

The Donbass, Dnepr and Azov battalions along with regular army artillery units are responsible for many of the attacks on civilians and residential areas in eastern Ukraine under Avakov’s antiterrorist operation. The tactics appear to be that regular army artillery units soften the target, “followed by chaotic, violent assaults” by the battalions. The Ukrainian army and some of the more well-armed neo-fascist battalions’ paramilitary groups have been using heavy weapons, including unguided Grad rockets, in civilian-populated areas for months. Human Rights Watch released a belated report condemning Kiev’s practice.

Wall Street Journal: Ukraine ombudsman for human rights dismissed and being accused of making unverifiable statements about alleged Russian sex crimes, 2022
quote:
Ukrainian lawmakers dismissed the country’s ombudsman for human rights, Lyudmyla Denisova, in a no-confidence vote on Tuesday, concluding that she had failed to fulfill obligations including the facilitation of humanitarian corridors and countering the deportation of Ukrainians from occupied territory.
A lawmaker, the Chief Consultant of the Staff of the Ukraine Parliament and a member of Ukraine Parliament of the 9th convocation Pavlo Frolov said that Ms. Denisova was also accused of making insensitive and unverifiable statements about alleged Russian sex crimes and spending too much time in Western Europe during the invasion.
“The unclear focus of the Ombudsman's media work on the numerous details of ‘sexual crimes committed in an unnatural way’ and ‘rape of children’ in the occupied territories that could not be confirmed by evidence, only harmed Ukraine,” Mr. Frolov said in a Facebook post.

Ukrainian lawmakers dismissed the country’s ombudsman for human rights, Lyudmyla Denisova, in a no-confidence vote on Tuesday, concluding that she had failed to fulfill obligations including the facilitation of humanitarian corridors and countering the deportation of Ukrainians from occupied territory.
A lawmaker, the Chief Consultant of the Staff of the Ukraine Parliament and a member of Ukraine Parliament of the 9th convocation Pavlo Frolov said that Ms. Denisova was also accused of making insensitive and unverifiable statements about alleged Russian sex crimes and spending too much time in Western Europe during the invasion.
“The unclear focus of the Ombudsman's media work on the numerous details of ‘sexual crimes committed in an unnatural way’ and ‘rape of children’ in the occupied territories that could not be confirmed by evidence, only harmed Ukraine,” Mr. Frolov said in a Facebook post.
