My partner is Polish and her grandmother spits on the ground at the mere mention of Ukrainians. She told me a story about how her entire village was destroyed by Ukrainian nationalists as part of the Volhynian slaughter and how she had to flee with her mother (father was killed) towards the German lines. They survived after being rescued by German soldiers.
She's a very interesting old lady.

Well whats interesting is that the family on my dads side (more like grandads), is from Western Ukraine and quite a few of older ones served in OUN-UPA... My grandma`s, mother was responsible for radio communications for the UPA.

My grandad joined the soviet army and later became an officer, as result of this, his and his wife`s families both disowned them and forbade to ever come back to western Ukraine to see them. Time heals and I think around 1990`s they went back and it wasnt so bad but I mean, by then their immediate families were long dead and buried. My grandad still has a photo album which features some pictures of his relatives wearing UPA uniforms along with SS-Galizien.

Well, it's hardly surprising considering what they had to endure.
Being from Lithuanian Jewish heritage, my family have similar views about Germans due to the number of family members we lost in the death camps.
 
ROFL why did arek the sexy lady get perma-banned? I'd like to think that it's something to do with him being a paid Kremlin troll so I'll just assume that.

Anyone following the trial of Ukrainian Officer Nadia Savchenko. Brave lady, love that righteous defiance, hope she gets returned home soon but I fear the Kremlin Kangaroo Court will want to make an example of her.

I thought the BBC were such a lefty liberal biased new source that they don't warrant using?

The difference between us is I don't criticise Breitbart then use it when it suits me.

You just dismiss it out of hand even though it's about the only independent conservative news source out there. Even Russia Today has its uses - if it's reporting about a typhoon in the Philippines then it's probably as good as anywhere for journalistic reporting. If it's reporting about something in Ukraine - considerably less so. You'd be a fool to dismiss it completely as a useful news source.

And same thing, on what basis are you validating the honesty of this news article compared to any other piece - apart from it matches your own view point of course.
