Today, as a Ukrainian-Jewish and a scholar of the Holocaust, I feel deeply ashamed. I never could have imagined that in my country — the country where the Nazis murdered 1.5 million Jews, the country of Babyn Yar, the very symbol of the Holocaust in the Soviet Union, a country that claims to be fighting for “freedom and democracy” — a Nazi collaborator and OUN leader like Andriy Melnyk would be buried with full state honors. Men under Melnyk’s leadership served in the Auxiliary police under Nazi. They hunted Jews hiding in attics, basements, forests, and barns, desperate to survive the Holocaust. They guarded ghettos and camps. They marched Jews to execution sites. And they took part in the shootings alongside the Germans. By the spring of 1943, the Holocaust in Ukraine was nearly complete. The Jewish neighbors were gone — murdered before the eyes, and often with the assistance, of Melnyk’s followers. And it was precisely then that Melnyk supported the creation of the Waffen-SS Galicia Division, whose members swore an oath to Adolf Hitler. And today, the president of my country — a man whose own relatives were murdered by the Nazis — kneels before the coffin of this Nazi collaborator. One could hardly imagine a greater humiliation for Jews. It is a humiliation for everyone who once believed that “Never Again” meant something in contemporary Ukraine — a country where militant ethnic nationalism increasingly dictates the politics of memory, and national identity.

Recebi, na tarde desta segunda-feira (25), telefonema do presidente da Bolívia, Rodrigo Paz. Conversamos sobre a situação humanitária enfrentada pela Bolívia em decorrência de protestos e bloqueios de estradas, que vêm provocando o desabastecimento de algumas regiões do país. Reiterei minha solidariedade ao governo e ao povo bolivianos e ressaltei a importância do pleno respeito às instituições democráticas e ao Estado de Direito. Defendi que governo e movimentos sociais evitem o recurso à violência e privilegiem o diálogo como caminho para a superação das divergências e para a preservação da paz social. A pedido do presidente Rodrigo Paz, determinei envio de ajuda humanitária à Bolívia.

Rodrigo’s days in power are numbered. The patriotic indigenous people of Bolivia are not going to accept to live under an imperialist backed dictatorship!

Starmer is a bigger liar than Johnson.
