Oleksandr Kobzarenko, a fighter with AFU’s Carpathian Sich Battalion, dressed up for his award ceremony in the finest attire he owned: a Nazi eagle on his cap and a patch bearing the insignia of the Waffen-SS Galicia Division.
And the cherry on top? He recently received the “Klym Savur Cross” — named after that very UPA commander who was a butcher of Poles in Volhynia.
Ukraine certainly has a remarkable talent for naming its military decorations, doesn’t it, my Polish friends?
Quite the tribute to history. Just perhaps not the kind Poland would appreciate.
