Corbyn joins socialists and communists in condemning neonazi march honouring SS war criminals in Ukraine
Ukrainian neonazis carry emblems of the so-called SS Galicia Division during a commemorating march in Kyiv, Ukraine, on Wednesday, April 28, 2021

JEREMY CORBYN joined socialists and communists today in condemning a neonazi march in honour of the World War II-era SS Galicia division that took place in Kiev on Wednesday.

Marchers dressed in black trooped from the Arsenalna underground station to Independence Square with banners honouring the Waffen SS division, which was mainly made up of far-right Ukrainian volunteers and participated in massacres of Polish civilians, including women and children, in Palykorovy and Pidkamin.

They carried the Galicia division’s lion-emblazoned banner as well as flags of the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists, a Nazi collaborator army that murdered hundreds of thousands of Jews and Poles during the Holocaust.
