On the left is a Holocaust denier, a man who claims that Nazi collaborator Bandera was not a “mass murderer of Poles and Jews”. His words were condemned by Polish govt and Israeli embassy. On the right is Ukraine’s new ambassador to UN Andriy Melnyk. Why do we keep funding this?

Sort of like the illegal crime syndicate the Brits created. Bibi says Holocaust wasn’t Hitler’s fault..

In an interview Melnyk said Bandera “was not a mass murderer of Jews and Poles” and there was no evidence to support the claim.
The interview was quickly condemned by Israel and Poland.
“The statement made by the Ukrainian ambassador is a distortion of the historical facts, belittles the Holocaust and is an insult to those who were murdered by Bandera and his people,” the Israeli Embassy said.
Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Marcin Przydacz wrote on a local online platform that “such an opinion and such words are absolutely unacceptable.”
Why don’t Ukraine hire someone else, not a literal Nazi? How can this man represent a country in the UN?
