“According to the decree, in 2022 at the state level it will be celebrated: 80 years since the creation of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army,” the parliament’s website says.
In July, a group of Ukrainian deputies proposed to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the UPA "at a decent level".
The authors of the document then stated that the UPA "waged an armed struggle for the state independence of Ukraine against the occupation regimes."
The initiators of the resolution were among others the leader of the Batkivshchyna faction Yulia Tymoshenko, the first deputy of the Servant of the People faction Alexander Kornienko, deputies from the Golos, European Solidarity factions and the Doverie group.
It was also reported earlier that a new system of military awards was presented in Ukraine, in the design of which the symbols of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army were used.
As noted in the Kremlin, supporters of Nazism and Bandera in Ukraine are held in high esteem and have an impact on the social and internal life of the country.
Moscow also claimed that Kiev continues to indulge Ukrainian neo-Nazis and radicals.
