After Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba went on the attack against anyone who thinks that the missile that killed two Poles in the village of Przewodów on Nov. 15 came from Ukraine (and that would include Kiev’s allies, Poland and the U.S.), accusing them of pushing a “conspiracy theory,” one would think that the Foreign Ministry would lower its profile, at least until the smoke cleared.
However, yesterday, within two days of Kuleba’s performance, Kiev chose to promote the disgraced Banderite, Andriy Melnyk, to the post of deputy foreign minister. Melnyk, while serving as ambassador to Germany, had thought it a good idea to publicly praise Hitler’s Ukrainian collaborator Stepan Bandera, and deny Bandera’s role in mass murders of Russians, Jews, Poles, etc. on behalf of his Nazi bosses. He was fired from that post in July after the interview.
