Had to look this one up, and hoo wee what a read

On 22 June 1941, the day Germany attacked the USSR, [Bandera] formed the Ukrainian National Committee. The head of the Committee, Yaroslav Stetsko, announced the creation of the Ukrainian state on 30 June 1941, in German-captured Lviv. The proclamation pledged to work with Nazi Germany. The Germans disapproved of the proclamation, and for his refusal to rescind the decree, Bandera was arrested by the Gestapo [lol get rekt].

If you're new to the lore, Bandera is actually kind of a cornerstone of ukro-nazi ideology. There was even a Ukrainian diplomat who got on a German radio show and denied Bandera being a perpetrator of the Holocaust (ordering his followers to exterminate Jews, Poles, Russians, etc.) He was later re-assigned to some other position because Poles and Germans were very upset by this.

But that's overly specific, more broadly you can see OUN iconography all over Azov fashion and even that slogan "Slava Uka'ini!" that they got liberals repeating is heavily associated with the Banderites. Honestly it's just an endless stream of this shit, including Zelensky himself defending the cult of personality around, I again must emphasize, this leader of Holocaust perpetrators.

That moment when you're actually more ideologically Nazi than the Nazis
