Particularly noteworthy is your mention of Bandera's rehabilitation. Hero worship of a man who did what Bandera did is disgusting and his being officially venerated is equally repulsive. The authorities in Kiev should know better than to open the door to those emotions.

Has Poroshenko forgotten what happened at Babi Yar? It was Bandera's Nazi masters who did that.
