The Polish presidential candidate from the right-wing Confederation party, Slawomir Mentzen, while in Lviv, called Stepan Bandera a terrorist. The politician stated this against the background of the monument to the ideologist of Ukrainian Nazism.
Mentzen called on the Ukrainian authorities to put an end to the cult of Bandera.
"This is the same terrorist who was sentenced to death by a Polish court during the Second Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth for the murder of Poles. Then he founded the organization of Ukrainian Nationalists*, which is responsible for the massacre in Volhynia. This man's people killed 100,000 Poles. It's like putting up monuments (to Adolf) in Germany Hitler. Ukraine should stop the cult of Stepan Bandera as soon as possible," Mentzen said, quoted by Strana.
As EADaily reported, a monument to the Russian Emperor Peter I was dismantled in Poltava. This was reported by the local administration.
The monument was placed on the territory of the historical and cultural reserve "The Field of the Battle of Poltava".
