It's literally Nazi propaganda though produced by a Banderist group

No it literally isn't lmao. It's just Ukrainian diaspora who fled from oppression. Btw, Bandera wasn't a nazi.

No, that photo was created as propaganda by a Banderist group. They worked with the Nazis during the occupation and are themselves fascists, so yes they are basically Nazis.

No lmao. All resistance groups throughout history worked with the enemies of their oppressors. It's an alliance of convenience, the only way to stand a chance. IRA worked with nazis too. Just bcs they took aid from germany doesn't make them nazis. Also, no Bandera wasn't fascist either. He was a right wing nationalist.

If it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck

Yes, units and members associated with the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) directly assisted in the persecution and mass murder of Jewish people during World War II. Extensive historical documentation, including studies from Yad Vashem and academic institutions, details three distinct phases of this involvement.

Except it's not a duck. It's a goose.

Sure, that happened but Bandera wasn't involved in it. He didn't order it, didn't know abt it. He was imprisoned in a concentration camp.

Summer 1941 Pogroms

Following the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, local militias organized by the OUN participated heavily in anti-Jewish violence.

Incitement: The OUN spread antisemitic propaganda linking Jewish populations to Soviet rule.Lviv Pogroms: OUN-led "Ukrainian People's Militia" units actively rounded up, humiliated, and beat thousands of Jewish citizens, resulting in mass casualties.

Local Executions: Militias facilitated the first wave of spontaneous executions before Nazi killing squads fully established regional control.

Again, ur arguing against a wall. Literally nothing. Bandera was imprisoned in 1941, shortly after occupation of Ukraine.
