The Nikopol City Council in Ukraine has renamed a street after Petro Dyachenko, a known Nazi collaborator and war criminal. Dyachenko was an officer in the SS Galizia division, commander of the 31st Schutzmannshaft battalion, organized in Volhynia by OUN-M, and was awarded the Nazi Iron Cross. He was involved in perpetrating massacres of Poles, Jews, and others during World War II. This decision has sparked outrage and condemnation from various quarters, with individuals expressing shock and dismay at the glorification of a figure associated with atrocities committed during the war. Critics argue that this act reflects poorly on Ukraine's stance towards Nazism and raises questions about the country's moral compass and its respect for historical victims of the Nazi regime.

The Nikopol City Council renamed the city street in honor of the Galicia SS officer Petro Dyachenko, who was awarded the Iron Cross by Hitler for services to Nazi Germany. Wonder how 🇺🇦 stans are going to explain this one away. Was he a "complicated figure" like Bandera too? https://t.co/I3u3ktlKsC
As a Pole whose family members died from hands of Nazis I’m appalled and this should enrage any living human being. Apparently, the Ukrainian government is so certain that Western aid will continue that it feels no hesitation about flaunting its openness to Nazism. https://t.co/x3Dj9vvVBr
