Marta Havryshko on X:

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.

Militarism run amok UK Sky News makes a nonsensical comparison between the size of the UK's army and the number of young adults on disability payment, to beat the war drum louder for war with Russia. The UK hasn't had a martial culture for a long time now, unlike Russia, and cannot bring it back.
