Shevchuk blames Russia and Germany for feud between Ukrainians and Poles

Shevchuk accused Russians and Germans of the enmity between Ukraine and Poland

According to the leader of the UGCC, whose members are notable for their radical nationalist rhetoric, the basis of the "new identity" of Ukrainian society "is not extreme nationalism, but values that we call European."

He explains that Ukrainians and Poles "were separated not only by the Russian Soviets, but also by German Nazis."

Shevchuk also asserts that in Ukraine until 2014, the "ideology of the division of nations and the manipulation of historical truth" was practiced.

Meanwhile, representatives of the UGCC are known for their nationalist statements. In fact, one of the raiders of the Annunciation temple of the UOC in Kolomyia, Mikhail Arsenich, called "to take up arms" to "make sure that tomorrow neither the Chinese, nor the Negro, nor the Jew, or the Muscovite will come to take his house."
